  2. 1. Neurocognitive Foundations of Child and Adult Number Processing : Neural Correlates and Functional Circuits Across Typical Development

    Author : Mikael Skagenholt; Ulf Träff; Kenny Skagerlund; Karin Kucian; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Numerical cognition; fMRI; Triple code model; Cardinality; Ordinality; Functional connectivity; Development; Numerisk kognition; fMRI; Kardinalitet; Ordinalitet; Utveckling;

    Abstract : The ability to mentally represent the exact numerosity of up to four perceived objects, as well as approximately estimating differences in numerical magnitude, appears to constitute a core-cognitive number sense. Symbolic representations of number (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neural Control of Movement : Motor Neuron Subtypes, Proprioception and Recurrent Inhibition

    Author : Anders Enjin; Klas Kullander; Samuel L. Pfaff; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor neuron; proprioception; recurrent inhibition; molecular marker; Ia afferent; development; transgenic mice; Renshaw cell; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Movement is central for life, and all animals depend on accurate regulation of movement for purposeful behavior. There is great diversity of movements, ranging between simple and vital breathing movements to minute and subtle movements of the face used to communicate emotions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development and Applications of in vitro Models to Study Human Brain Evolution and Disease

    Author : Daniela Grassi; Molekylär neurogenetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neural reprogramming; Neural differentiation; Brain development; Huntington s disease; Induced Neuron; Neural Progenitor Cell; Brain evolution;

    Abstract : Neuroscience focusing on human development and disease has long been hampered due to ethical reasons, low tissue availability, and low translatability from animal models. To circumvent these obstacles, we have developed two methods for the investigation of human neural cells in culture. READ MORE

  6. 4. Physiological role of amyloid precursor protein during neural development

    Author : Rakesh Kumar Banote; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amyloid precursor protein; Zebrafish; Spinal cord; Motor neurons; Hindbrain; Mauthner cell; Development; Proteomics;

    Abstract : Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a type-one membrane-spanning protein with a large extracellular N-terminal domain and a small intracellular C-terminal domain. APP first gained interest due to its involvement in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). READ MORE

  7. 5. Forkhead Genes in Mammalian Development

    Author : Henrik Landgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Development; Forkhead;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns aspects of Forkhead gene biology and it’s relation to mammalian development. Genes from three subclasses are discussed, Foxj3, Foxf1 and f2, and Foxe3. READ MORE
