21. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR3A : cloning, expression and interacting proteins
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the subunit NR3A, which together with subunits NR1, NR2A-NR2D and NR3B builds the excitatory glutamate receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). The receptor is most likely a tetramer, containing at least one NR1, probably two NR2 and sometimes one NR3 subunit. READ MORE

22. On the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in motor control : analysis of synaptic, cellular and network properties
Abstract : The organization of neurons into neuronal networks is a basic feature of the central nervous system. An understanding of the function of neuronal networks requires knowledge on both synaptic connectivity and cellular properties. READ MORE

23. K+ channels and the regulation of synaptic transmission
Abstract : Neuronal excitability is highly regulated by K+ channels that are activated by a voltage change across the plasma membrane or by a rise in intracellular Na+ or Ca2+ concentration. The main focus of this thesis has been to characterize the Na+-activated K+ (KNa) and the Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels and to determine their role in regulating synaptic transmission in the lamprey spinal cord.

24. Experimental spinal cord injuries : a histopathological, neurological, and pharmacological study in the rat
Abstract : Photochemically-induced ischemic lesions and compression-induced traumatic injuries in the mid-thoracic spinal cord were studied in female rats. The histopathological development of the injuries was found to be similar to that described in other experimental spinal cord injury models and in human post-mortem material. READ MORE

25. Ischemic Cell Death in the CNS - applications of a new in vitro model
Abstract : Ischemic brain damage is a common cause of death and disability. A global ischemic insult is usually the result of a transient cardiac arrest while occlusion of cerebral blood vessels leads to focal ischemic lesions, commonly termed stroke. READ MORE
