Title of Project: Functional Implications of Stress-Evoked Changes in Epigenetic Mechanisms.
The objective of this project is to investigate genes that are regulated by K12H4 acetylation and the behavioral effects of sirt1 activation. This information was used as preliminary data for the current application. There is no scientific overlap in the aims.

Title of Project: Long-Term Effects of Transient Estradiol Exposure on Hippocampal Function
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the role of estradiol in plasticity in the aged rat hippocampus. Our role is to conduct electrophysiology experiments to investigate long term potentiation. There is no overlap.
