Six Ohio University undergraduate Physics & Astronomy students presented an overview of their projects undertaken the previous summer, during the 2018 Society of Physics Students Research Conference held recently in Walter Hall. The presentations were reviewed by a panel of two faculty judges. Society of Physics (SPS) Faculty Adviser Dr. […]

A fundamental equation in mathematical biophysics is the cable equation, whose solution gives the distribution of voltage along the length of a membrane, such as a neuronal axon. Anika Friedman, an Ohio University Engineering Physics and Neuroscience double major in the Honors Tutorial College, spent last summer delving into a […]

By Amanda Biederman Along the axon of a neuron, the cytoskeletal protein actin plays several important roles in neuron function, including cell signaling and axon elongation. But for years, scientists did not know how actin gets transported from their manufacturing site to their target locations. Recently, actin was found to […]

By Amanda Biederman The Ohio State University professor Anthony Brown opened the first annual Neuroscience Research Day with a keynote lecture describing his work on neurofilaments and axonal transport. Neuroscience Research Day, which was contrived by a team of faculty members, graduate students and undergraduate students, brought together members of […]

By Amanda Biederman Neurons will fire across Lake Hope Lodge on Oct. 7 as Ohio University’s neuroscientists convene to discuss their research in the first annual “Neuroscience Research Day.” The event, which was contrived by a team of faculty members, graduate students and undergraduate students, is designed to unite members […]

The Ohio University Student Research and Creative Activity Expo is an opportunity each year for Physics & Astronomy students to present scientific information in a format that is often used at international scientific conferences. A panel of  faculty members in the sciences serve as  judges determines the winning posters. This […]

The Condensed Matter & Surface Sciences Colloquium Series presents Peter Jung of Ohio University on “Slow Axonal Transport, Axon Morphology and Neuronal Function,” on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 4:10 p.m. in Walter 245. Abstract: The human brain with about 1011 neurons and about 1015 connections in addition to a neuroglia […]
