2. 1. Neural Control of Movement : Motor Neuron Subtypes, Proprioception and Recurrent Inhibition

   Author : Anders Enjin; Klas Kullander; Samuel L. Pfaff; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor neuron; proprioception; recurrent inhibition; molecular marker; Ia afferent; development; transgenic mice; Renshaw cell; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Abstract : Movement is central for life, and all animals depend on accurate regulation of movement for purposeful behavior. There is great diversity of movements, ranging between simple and vital breathing movements to minute and subtle movements of the face used to communicate emotions. READ MORE

4. 2. Olfaction in Desert Locusts- Anatomy, Function and Plasticity of the Central Olfactory System

   Author : Rickard Ignell; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hist; serotonin; immunocytochemistry; juvenile hormone; development; olfactometer; intracellular recording; evolution; projection neuron; receptor neuron; antennal lobe; aggregation pheromone; neuroethology; olfaction; Desert locust; Schistocerca gregaria; Ecology; Ekologi; Entomology; plant parasitology; Entomologi; växtparasitologi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Abstract : The anatomy, function and plasticity of the primary olfactory centre, the antennal lobe (AL), of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria was investigated using a number of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological methods. Anatomical characterisation of the AL in a number of orthopteran species made it possible to deduce a model concerning the evolution of microglomeruli. READ MORE

5. 3. Neruons; regulators of CNS inflammation

   Author : Yawei Liu; Neuroinflammation; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serology; Immunology; T cells; inflammation; neuron; CNS; EAE MS; serologi;

   Abstract : Neurons have been neglected as cells with major immune regulatory function. Here, we present novel data demonstrating that neurons are highly immune competent and play crucial role in regulation of T cell response and CNS inflammation. READ MORE

6. 4. In vivo properties of neural stem cells after transplantation into the rat brain-Studies of phenotypic differentiation and functional integration using cell-specific labelling and electrophysiological techniques

   Author : Ulrica Englund Johansson; Peter Eriksson; Lund Oftalmologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cell line; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; functional integration; electrophysiology; retrograde tracing; immortalized; GFP; migration; axonal projections; glia; neuron; transplantation; stem cell. progenitor cell; CNS; Biomedical Sciences;

   Abstract : In the present thesis, we have examined the in vivo properties of in vitro expanded human and rat neural stem-and progenitor cells after transplantation into the neonatal and adult rat brain. The survival and differentiation of the grafted cells were assessed using species-specific antisera, and pre-labelling with the reporter gene green fluorescent protein (GFP). READ MORE

7. 5. Regulation of RNA Editing : The impact of inosine on the neuronal transcriptome

   Author : Mikaela Behm; Marie Öhman; André Gerber; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA editing; ADAR; miRNA; Neuron; Brain development; Synapse; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : The transcriptome of the mammalian brain is extensively modified by adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) nucleotide conversion by two adenosine deaminases (ADAR1 and ADAR2). As adenosine and inosine have different base pairing properties, A-to-I RNA editing shapes the functional output of both coding and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the brain. READ MORE
