1. Machine Learning Techniques with Specific Application to the Early Olfactory System
Abstract : This thesis deals with machine learning techniques for the extraction of structure and the analysis of the vertebrate olfactory pathway based on related methods. Some of its main contributions are summarized below. READ MORE

2. Computational Modelling of Early Olfactory Processing
Abstract : Chemical sensing is believed to be the oldest sensory ability. The chemical senses, olfaction and gustation, developed to detect and analyze information in the form of air- or waterborne chemicals, to find food and mates, and to avoid danger. READ MORE

3. The Role of miRNA in Neurogenesis and Cell Specification
Abstract : Only a few decades ago, it was generally believed that gene expression was controlled in a unidirectional way, i.e. DNA was transcribed into RNA, which simply acted as a messenger molecule used to produce the protein that executed cellular functions. READ MORE

4. Regulatory mechanisms in olfactory system assembly and function
Abstract : The mammalian sense of smell relies on the detection of odorants by a large family of G protein coupled receptors, encoded by ~1300 different genes in mice (Buck and Axel, 1991; Zhang et al., 2007). These odorant receptors (ORs) are expressed in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the main olfactory epithelium (MOE). READ MORE

5. The Regulatory Role of microRNAs in the Mouse and Human Brain
Abstract : microRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-24 nucleotides small, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs. They associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins and exert their function by inhibition or degradation of messenger RNAs. READ MORE
