We compile his key works relating to psychotic disorders, focusing on the trajectory of his theoretical stance. Our account is interlaced with our own interpretation of the evidence that influenced Crow's arguments over the years as well as his scientific method. Crow has had a significant impact on the neuroscience of schizophrenia. Many of his observations are still valid and several questions he raised remain unanswered to date.https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/psychological-medicine/article/seminal-contributions-of-timothy-j-crow/25B0EA70F496D0D3351937E44ADDD45

Amelious Whyte, StaffThe first recommendation is that the University must make substantial new investments in graduate education, particularly in the financial support of graduate students. To be truly competitive for the best and the brightest of national and international students, the University must provide highly competitive financial support packages.
The second key recommendation is the University’s Graduate and Professional Schools must aggressively identify and implement the best practices in student recruitment, retention, and mentoring. Of particular importance is developing policies and procedures that assure timely dree completion. Recruiting and training the finest graduate and professional students compel all programs to utilize the best practices to maximize every student’s education and insure all achieve their full potential.
The third key recommendation is that the Graduate School incorporate greater flexibility in the Graduate Fellowship program, both in polices for awarding fellowships and the size of the awards. Acknowledging that different disciplines have different needs and that a single policy does not optimally meet those needs, flexibility provides a powerful tool to allow programs to recruit the best students.
Finally, the Task Force recommends that the Provost’s Office and Graduate School issue a report two years hence that examines the implementation of any policy changes resulting from this report and their impact on collegiate, department, and graduate program units.Ebner, Timothy J.; Schiappa, Edward.

Local and Propagated Vascular Responses Evoked by Focal Synaptic Activity in Cerebellar Cortex
No full text Iadecola, Costantino, Guang Yang, Timothy J. Ebner, and Gang Chen. Local and propagated vascular responses evoked by focal synaptic activity in cerebellar cortex. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 651–659, 1997. We investigated the local and remote vascular changes evoked by activation of the cerebellar parallel fibers (PFs). The PFs were stimulated (25–150 μA, 30 Hz) in halothane-anesthetized rats equipped with a cranial window. The changes in arteriolar and venular diameter produced by PF stimulation were measured with the use of a videomicroscopy system. Cerebellar blood flow (BFcrb) was monitored by laser Doppler flowmetry and the field potentials evoked by PF stimulation were recorded with the use of microelectrodes. PF stimulation increased the diameter of local arterioles (+26 ± 1%, mean ± SE) in the activated folium ( n = 10, P < 0.05). The vasodilation was greatest in smaller arterioles (16.5 ± 0.8 μm), was graded with the intensity of stimulation, and was less marked than the vasodilation produced by hypercapnia in comparably sized vessels (+58 ± 5%, CO2 pressure = 50–60 mmHg, n = 8). In addition, the vasodilation was greatest along the horizontal beam of activated PFs and was reduced in arterioles located away from the stimulated site in a rostrocaudal direction. The increases in vascular diameter were associated with increases in BFcrb in the activated area (+55 ± 4%, n = 5). PF stimulation increased vascular diameter (+10 ± 0.5%, n = 10) also in larger arterioles (30–40 μm) located in the folium adjacent to that in which the PFs were stimulated. Higher-order branches of these arterioles supplied the activated area. No field potentials were evoked by PF stimulation in the area where these upstream vessels were located. The data suggest that increased synaptic activity in the PF system produces a “local” hemodynamic response mediated by synaptic release of vasoactive agents and a “remote” response that is propagated to upstream arterioles from vessels residing in the activated folium. These propagated vascular responses are important in the coordination of segmental vascular resistance that is required to increase flow effectively during functional brain hyperemia. </jats:p
Transforming the University: Final Recommendations of the Task Force on Graduate Refrom: Student Support
No full textDocuments (final report and executive summary) providing recommendations to improve graduate programs at the University by offering different funding packages, improving research opportunities, increase recruitment and increase ability to serve programs with professional and working adult students.This report begins a needed University-wide conversation about what we, as a community, must
do in order to achieve the goal of having one of the very best public research universities in the
world. Our doctoral programs are central to this goal because they are integral to the research
enterprise. Improving the graduate student experience in all facets is needed including: 1)
admissions and recruitment, 2) competitive multiyear funding packages, 3) strong mentoring,
guidance, and evaluation, and 4) comprehensive research and teaching training. These
improvements must be matched with renewed commitment to graduate education at all levels of
the University with policies and infrastructure that support the students and faculty.Ebner, Timothy J.; Schiappa, Edward. (2006).
