Background Physical inactivity is associated with an increased risk for cardiometabolic disease. Using an assistive transportation device may reduced physical activity that impairs health. Purpose We investigated the effect of short-term access to an assistive transportation device (electric scooter) as a proxy for reduced physical activity on hemodynamics and vascular function in adults. We hypothesized […]

B42: X: Writing with Old English Literature
The Exeter Book (Exeter Cathedral Library, MS 3501) is a tenth-century, early medieval manuscript, which includes some of the most celebrated works of early English poetry. Traditional scholarly approaches to this material have argued for a resonance of this poetry within a monastic, Christian tradition. (Förster 1933, Orton 2016, Niles 2019). However, there has recently […]
B43: Exploring New Analyses in Drinking Behavior
Previous research has revealed that mu opioid receptors (MOR) located on cholinergic interneurons play a role in the mechanisms of reward and inhibition. By utilizing new analyses in drinking behavior, we hope to examine these mechanisms and consumption patterns in greater detail than we have previously. Through the usage of lickometry, we are able to […]
B44: Assessing independence and invariance of attribute perception in novel object: a first study
The current study is the first step in an overall research program designed to examine the visual perception of attributes of novel objects in different contexts that may be supported differentially by the ventral and dorsal processing streams. It is known that the ventral visual stream supports object identification whereas the dorsal stream allows for […]
B45: Development and Validation of a Quantitative Measure of Caregiver White Racial Socialization
In recent decades, a body of psychological research has emerged exploring how children with marginalized racial and ethnic identities learn about their culture and heritage, as well as learn about discrimination and racism, a process known as ethnic racial socialization (ERS; Umaña-Taylor & Hill, 2020). Despite this growing field with families of color, relatively less […]

B47: Infralimbic Cortex Projections to the Paraventricular Thalamus and the Expression of Safety Learning
Recent studies indicate that the infralimbic cortex (IL), a subregion within the medial prefrontal cortex, is primarily involved in the expression of safety learning, with no significant role in the initial consolidation. In this context, the IL receives input from another brain region facilitating the initial acquisition of both threat and safety learning, suggesting a […]

B49: Binding of Tryptamines in Psilocybin-Containing Mushrooms to the 5HT2A Receptor
The purpose of this study is to determine if psilocybin-related tryptamines bind to the 5-HT2A receptor through molecular calcium imaging. We hypothesized that psilocybin-related tryptamines would bind to the 5-HT2A receptor with appreciable affinity.5HT2A receptors have gained popularity in research due to their suspected role in mental health, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar […]
