Neural Mechanisms that Underlie Flexible Sensory Control of Behavioral States in C. elegans
The behavioral state of an animal – whether it is active, inactive, mating, or fighting – profoundly influences how it generates behavioral responses to environmental cues. However...
Measurement of cognition and functional decline in Latinx older adults for detection of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias: A mixed-methods approach
Accurate and valid measurement of cognitive and functional decline for the detection of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) in Latino/a/x older adults is a critical...
Microbial Dysbiosis and Epithelial Dysfunction in Vitamin A-deficient Lungs
Abstract Once believed to be sterile, recent studies now show microbes inhabiting healthy lungs that are dysregulated in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),...
Volumetric analysis of epithelial morphogenesis with high spatiotemporal resolution
Project Summary How epithelial sheets remodel themselves to adopt new tissue conformations through changes in neighbor relationships and cell shape dynamics has been a key question...

Project Summary/Abstract The U-RISE program at Cal State Fullerton proposes to support 10 undergraduate students every year who come from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrou...
Active Social Vision: How the Brain Processes Visual Information During Natural Social Perception
Summary/Abstract The dominant paradigm in social visual neuroscience has been to present simplified stimuli, often consisting of static images in isolation presented without contex...
Genetic and biophysical mechanisms that control influenza virus cellular multiplicity of infection
Single cells infected by influenza can produce hundreds to thousands of infectious new virions.These virions spread non-uniformly, producing wide variations in the viral load per c...
Aging Microbiome, Immunosenescence, and risk of Multi-drug Resistant Organism Colonization and Infection in the Nursing Home
ABSTRACT Multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) are bacteria that have become resistant to more than one antimicrobial agent. Intestinal MDROs constitute a major threat to public he...
Dissemination and implementation of DIGEST™ as an evidence-based measurement tool for dysphagia in cancer
ABSTRACT Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) is a highly prevalent and impactful condition with significant burden on the healthcare system. Across the lifespan, dysphagia is associa...
