Age-dependent effects of short-term intermittent fasting and rapamycin treatment in Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) brain
(Bilkent University, 2020-05)World populations are rapidly aging, and there is an urgent need to develop interventions that prevent or reverse age-related deterioration of health. To date, several approaches have been developed to extend health span. ... -
Behavioral and computational investigation of the effect of prior knowledge on visual perception
(Bilkent University, 2021-02)Visual perception results from the dynamic interaction of bottom-up and topdown processes. Top-down prior knowledge and expectations can guide us to predict upcoming events and even determine what we see in an ambiguous ... -
The effect of context-dependent lightness on contrast detection and identification, and its neural correlates
(Bilkent University, 2017-11)Perceived contrast of a grating varies with its background (or mean) luminance: of the two gratings with the same photometric contrast the one on higher luminance background appears to have higher contrast. On the other ... -
Effects of aging, diet and potential genetic interventions on the levels of Smurf2 and its interacting partners in Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) brain
(Bilkent University, 2020-10)Aging is a natural process that is ultimate combination of numerous intrinsic and extrinsic changes in an organism. Contrary the common belief, brain aging is not a loss of neurons while it has been shown that subtle ... -
Genetic influences on cortical structure and function
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Structure and function of the human central nervous system is determined by both genetic and environmental in uences. One of the fundamental quests in neuroscience studies is to determine to what degree each of these ... -
Identification of preclinical implications for novel indole-benzimidazoles and phenothiazines using in vitro cancer cell line and in vivo zebrafish models
(Bilkent University, 2020-09)Breast cancer (BC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are two major health problems with significant mortality rates. Although drug therapies are available, therapeutic success remains limited. Because of low bioavailability, ... -
Probing sensory plasticity with rapid forms of motion adaptation
(Bilkent University, 2020-09)Perception is shaped by both immediate pattern of sensory inputs and previous experience with the external environment. Visual adaptation, a temporary change in perception following exposure to a stimulus, has been widely ...
