    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acetyl choline; central nervous system; central pattern generator; Cre recombinase; development; genetic screen; glutamate; interneuron; motor neuron; mouse; mouse genetics; movement; network; neuronal network; nicotinic receptors; physiology; Renshaw cell; rhythm; spinal cord; transmitter; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi; Molecular neurobiology; Molekylär neurobiologi; Neurophysiology; Neurofysiologi; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi; medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi; Developmental Neurosciences;

    Abstract : Spinal neurons are important in several aspects motor control. For example, the neurons essential for locomotor movements reside in the ventral spinal cord. In this thesis, different motor control functions are being related to neuronal populations defined by their common expression of a gene. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantitative magnetic resonance in diffuse liver and neurological disease

    Author : Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Mapping--methods; Choline--analysis; Liver diseases--diagnosis; Magnetic resonance imaging--methods; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy--methods; Multiple sclerosis--diagnosis; Multiple sclerosis--metabolism; Nerve fibers; myelinated--metabolism; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance (MR) has become one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern medicine. It provides superior soft tissue contrast compared to other imaging modalities, it is extremely flexible as it can be used to image all parts of the body, and it is considered to be safe for patients.

  5. 3. Role of corticotropin-releasing factor, somatostatin and leptin in vagal nerve function and control of gastric emptying

    Author : Ulrika Smedh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the effects of centrally acting CRF and leptin, and peripherally acting somatostatin on gastric emptying of glucose. Freely moving rats bearing chronic intragastric fistulas received intragastric infusions (1.0 ml/min) of glucose (12.5 % or 25 %) during 6-18 min. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Non-Invasive Brain Biopsy : Implementation and Application of Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on Healthy and Diseased Human Brain

    Author : Anders Tisell; Peter Lundberg; Marcel Warntjes; Anne-Marie Landtblom; Örjan Smedby; Jan Weis; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: In this thesis, one of the major objectives was to implement a method for (absolute) quantitative magnetic resonance spectroscopy (qMRS) of the human brain, intended for clinical use. The implemented method was based on standard spatially selective MRS sequences. READ MORE

  7. 5. Proteins regulating vesicular docking and fusion : histochemical studies on their presence and regulation in endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuronal cells

    Author : Gunilla Jacobsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : - axotomy; botulinum neurotoxin; cranial nerve; CSP; ECL; endocrine; estrogen; exocytosis; hypothalamus; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; motoneuron; mouse; mRNA; munc-18; pancreas; parasympathetic; pituitary; rat; salt-loading; sciatic n;

    Abstract : Regulated transmitter release involves docking and fusion of transmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. Vesicular docking and fusion events are mediated by specific exocytotic proteins located at the vesicle membrane, in the cytoplasm or at the plasma membrane. READ MORE
