  2. 11. Neural circuits engaged in mastication and orofacial nociception

    Author : Tuija Athanassiadis; K-G Westberg; Sten Grillner; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rhythmical jaw movements; central pattern generator; trigeminal system; rabbit; Rat; c-Fos; nociceptors; muscle pain; muscle spindle afferents; glutamate; Neurophysiology; Neurofysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : A deeper understanding of both movement control and the effects of nociceptor inputs on our motor systems is critical for proper clinical diagnosis of musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and for development of novel rehabilitation schemes. In the jaw system, masticatory movements are produced by a central pattern generator (CPG) located in the brainstem. READ MORE

  4. 12. Effect of Normal Aging on Emotional Processing and Impact of Emotion on Memory : Psychophysiological and Cognitive Findings

    Author : Anne-Marie Aupée; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; Pychophysiology; Memory; Emotion; Aging; Gender; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; Neurologi;

    Abstract : It has long been thought that aging is accompanied by an emotional flattening. Although a different view has started to emerge recently, studies investigating psychophysiological responses in reaction to affective stimuli so far have reported an age-related reduction of the affective response.

    Abstract : The most malignant brain tumour, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), has an utterly bad prognosis. In spite of all available therapy, the mean survival time is less than a year. In the unique BRIGTT project (Brain Immuno Gene Tumour Therapy), patients at the Dept of Neurosurgery. READ MORE

  6. 14. The Cerebello-Olivary Feedback System

    Author : Fredrik Bengtsson; Neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; neurophysiology; Neurology; neuropsychology; Fysiologi; Physiology; Cerebellum; Purkinje cell; Inferior olive; Neurologi; Nucleo-olivary; Climbing fibre.; Deep cerebellar nuclei;

    Abstract : The pathway from the deep cerebellar nuclei to the inferior olive, the nucleo-olivary pathway, is known to be inhibitory. The physiological and temporal properties, as well as the localisation, of the nucleo-olivary pathway were characterised in the decerebrate ferret. READ MORE

  7. 15. Multiple Sclerosis: Studies of the Interferon system and search for infectious agents

    Author : My Bergkvist; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; neuropsychology; Neurology; Axon and myelin damage; IgG; Virus; Interferon; Multiple Sclerosis; Genetic linkage;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, characterized by focal inflammatory lesions with demyelination and axonal loss. It is believed that MS is an immune-mediated disorder with both genetic and environmental contributions to the pathogenesis. READ MORE
