    Abstract : We use our senses to navigate in the world. An important property of olfaction, the sense of smell, is to enable us to approach beneficial things, and to avoid what might be toxic or otherwise harmful in our environment. Other peoples’ behaviors are also paramount for our survival. READ MORE

  5. 3. Intracranial facial nerve lesion : experimental study on neural degeneration and its treatment

    Author : Per Mattsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to develop an experimental model that would generate extensive motor neuronal degeneration in adult rats, and furthermore to study mechanisms causing nerve cell death and effects of putative neuroprotective compounds. The facial nerve was chosen because it is well characterized and allows evaluation of functional recovery by analyzing vibrissae movements. READ MORE

  6. 4. Masticatory retraining effect on masseter muscle, facial morphology and alveolar bone structure in the adult rat

    Author : Anna Ödman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adult; rat; craniofacial morphology; alveolar trabecular bone; MYH; mandible; masticatory function;

    Abstract : The aim of this series of investigations was to study the effect of masticatory muscle retraining in adult rats with an earlier reduced masticatory muscle function on the craniofacial morphology, on the internal alveolar bone structure and on the deep masseter muscle. Material and Methods: Sixty young male rats received soft diet for a prolonged period, so that the animals developed weak masticatory muscles. READ MORE

  7. 5. Between Ourselves : Automatic mimicry reactions as related to empathic ability and patterns of attachment

    Author : Marianne Sonnby-Borgström; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; emotion regulation; attachment pattern; empathy; EMG; Key words:Facial mimicry; emotional contagion; Differential and individual psychology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Differentiell och individuell psykologi;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated emotional communication in experimentally created face-to-face interaction situations. The hypotheses were based on the conception of a process which leads to emotional empathy, assuming that automatic mimicking tendencies are involved in an automatic part of the process. READ MORE
