The Toppler Effect : irregular leader transitions and the rate of state failure recovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
State failure is becoming increasingly prevalent across the globe, creating human suffering, black markets, lost economic opportunities, and safe havens for militant actors. It is imperative that the international community ...
Prism adaptation in a case of cerebellar agenesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Normal subjects adapt quickly to the displacing effects of prism goggles. A measure of this adaptation comes from the negative aftereffects in reaching that subjects show after the prism goggles are removed. Neural circuitry ...
Postnatal development of brainstem cholinergic inputs to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the domesticated ferret, Mustela putorius furo
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The ferret dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) undergoes two periods of retinal afferent segregation during postnatal development. The first establishes the eye-specific laminae, A and A 1, and the second establishes ...

The first language acquisition of scalar inferences from -Cocha 'Even' by Korean-speaking children
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This thesis investigates the first language acquisition of scalar inferences from Korean particle -cocha 'even.' Based on the fact that also evokes the same existential inference with even, and that also and even have the ...
A general method for three color STED microscopy with one depletion laser : application to primary neuronal culture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Recent advances in the field of optical nanoscopy have equipped molecular neuroscientists with the means to investigate sub-synaptic phenomena with unprecedented spatial resolution. Indeed, early studies employing these ...
