Exploring Viscoelastic Properties with Rheometry
By William Burkey Faculty Mentor: Dr. Matthew C. Fleenor, PhD Abstract Rheology is the study of material deformation when subjugated to external force. Every stage of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) is differentiable by its viscoelasticity or “the ability/reluctance to flow”, and rheology is used to quantify viscoelastic properties. In hopes of potentially using viscoelastic…

Voluntary Wheel Running in Mice Influences Hippocampal Physiology and Lashley Maze Performance
By Michael Afful, William Burkey, Aidan Kimener Faculty Mentor: Dr. Parrish Waters Abstract Memory is a fundamental cognitive function that is crucial for adapting to an environment. Many modes of exercise, including aerobic and anaerobic activity, can increase memory function by modulating multiple physiological systems. Our study examines the effect of different levels of voluntary…
