  2. 16. fMRI for mapping the plastic somatotopy of primary somatosensory cortex - Development and clinical applications

    Author : Andreas Weibull; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smoothing; physiological noise; spatial resolution; primary somatosensory cortex; cortical reorganisation; brain plasticity; fMRI; partial volume effects;

    Abstract : Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a widely used tool for studying brain function in vivo. The technique is based on acquiring brain images sensitive to the physiological response following neural activation, and hence, allows brain activity to be examined and documented. READ MORE

  4. 17. Neural circuit mapping af orexigenic systems

    Author : Iris Stoltenborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orexigenic; ghrelin; feeding; food-cue; arcuate nucleus; lateral hypothalamus; orexin; activity-based anorexia;

    Abstract : Orexigenic systems in the brain process appetite and/or hunger information and ultimately coordinate feeding responses. These brain circuits are critical for survival and originally evolved to ensure that we consume sufficient amounts of diverse nutrients to survive future famines. READ MORE

  5. 18. Genetics in experimental traumatic brain injury

    Author : Faiez Al Nimer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in the young population in the industrialized world. It comprises a heterogeneous group of brain pathologies where head trauma initiates a series of complex molecular pathways, which, together with the initial injury, account for the final outcome.

  6. 19. Spatial mapping of bacteria and transcriptomes

    Author : Britta Lötstedt; Joakim Lundeberg; Anders F. Andersson; Petri Auvinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatial transcriptomics; 16S sequencing; antibody-based measurements; spatiell transkriptomik; 16S-sekvensering; antikroppsbaserade mätningar; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Novel insights into biological functions and mechanisms, cell networks and evolutionary relationships are gained through development of sequencing technologies and sequencing based applications. Massively parallel sequencing has enabled analysis of big data at gene and protein expression levels, but has also characterized bacterial communities. READ MORE

  7. 20. Contributions to Signal Processing for MRI

    Author : Marcus Björk; Peter Stoica; Andreas Jakobsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Parameter estimation; efficient estimation algorithms; non-convex optimization; multicomponent T2 relaxometry; artifact reduction; T2 mapping; denoising; phase estimation; RF design; MR thermometry; in-vivo brain; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing;

    Abstract : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic tool for imaging soft tissue without the use of ionizing radiation. Moreover, through advanced signal processing, MRI can provide more than just anatomical information, such as estimates of tissue-specific physical properties. READ MORE
