  4. 2. Understanding inflammation requires neuroscience

    Author : Alessandro Gallina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation and its resolution are processes subject to neural regulation (1). The best-characterized immune-regulating reflex is the “inflammatory reflex”, in which the efferent branch of the vagus nerve plays a central role in regulating cytokine-release in the periphery.

    Abstract : Flunitrazepam (FZ) is an example of a sedative-hypnotic benzodiazepine whose pharmacokinetic properties include a rapid onset of action and an intermediate duration of action. It has a high affinity to central benzodiazepine receptors and affects them profoundly. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quantitative sensory testing, obstructive sleep apnea and peripheral nervous lesions

    Author : Louise Hagander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska institutet Institutionen för klinisk neurovetenskap Department of Clinical Neuroscience; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE;

    Abstract : In diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies, quantitative sensory testing (QST) is used to assess thermal and vibration sensitivity. QST is a psychophysical method susceptible to the influence of several factors. It is important to standardize the test. Vibrations may cause peripheral nerve lesions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Applications of nanotechnology in neuroscience : functionalized superparamagnetic nanoparticles as contrast enhancers in experimental magnetic resonance imaging

    Author : Fu-Hua Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that helps clinicians not only to diagnose but also to plan the treatment of invasive surgery and actually treat medical conditions. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are a family of MRI contrast agents that improves MRI sensitivity/specificity. READ MORE
