  2. 1. Mechanisms controlling midbrain dopaminergic neuron development

    Author : Shanzheng Yang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons accounts for some of the main motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Efforts during the last decades have focused on understanding how mDA neurons are generated and maintained with the hope of developing novel stem cell-based replacement therapies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular regulation of somatosensory neuron development

    Author : Yiqiao Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The somatosensory system of vertebrates perceives and transmits a variety of information from both external and internal environments to the central nervous system where an integrated response is established leading to adaptive outcome. Specific classes of sensory neurons convey the information consisting of touch, muscle stretch, temperature, itch, and pain. READ MORE

  5. 3. Genetic control of sensory neuron diversification

    Author : Marina C M Franck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The somatosensory system of vertebrates transmits information from external and internal environments to the brain. This information relates to various modalities such as touch, temperature, itch and pain. The different modalities require a variety of subtypes of sensory neurons, tuned to detect and transmit specific stimuli. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on metals in motor neuron disease

    Author : Per M Roos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A slow but steady increase in neurodegenerative disorders has been noted in recent decades. Degenerations in the nervous system are found in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and motor neuron diseases. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common of the motor neuron diseases. READ MORE

  7. 5. Information Processing in the Nervous System. On a Holistic Functional Organization Principle

    Author : Jonas Enander; Hjärnans sensorimotoriska funktioner; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Somatosensory; Tactile; Neuron; Neocortex; Brain organization; Cortical functional localization;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the nature of information processing in the nervous system. This issue has been investigated with animal experiments, using male Sprague–Dawley rats, and simulated touch generated by an artificial fingertip with neuromorphic tactile sensors. READ MORE
