  2. 21. Stroke recovery activity-dependent mechanisms

    Author : Miriana Quattromani; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : Stroke recovery; Photothrombosis; Enriched environment; Bioluminescence imaging; Toll-like receptor 2; Microglia; Neurons; Extracellular matrix; Perineuronal nets; Aggrecan; Proteases; Parvalbumin; Resting-state functional connectivity;

    Abstract : Stroke is the leading cause of disability in developed countries and among the major causes of death worldwide. During a stroke, neurons deprived of their normal metabolic substrates cease to function in seconds and show signs of structural damage after only a few minutes which result in the impairment of sensory and motor function.

  4. 22. Nanowires and Neural interfaces. Biocompatibility in the brain

    Author : Lina Gällentoft; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : neural interface; neurons; BMI; nanowires; tissue responses; rat; biocompatibility; astrocytes; microglia;

    Abstract : Chronic neural interfaces that are able to record or stimulate neurons in the CNS are valuable instruments in use today and they hold great promise for the future both within neuroscience research and in the clinic. However, a major obstacle is that they show a decline in performance over time. READ MORE

  5. 23. Infrared Laser Stimulation of Cerebral Cortex Cells - Aspects of Heating and Cellular Responses

    Author : Rickard Liljemalm; Tobias Nyberg; Hans von Holst; Claus-Peter Richter; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; modeling; heating; infrared neural stimulation; astrocytes; neurons; damage;

    Abstract : The research of functional stimulation of neural tissue is of great interest within the field of clinical neuroscience to further develop new neural prosthetics. A technique which has gained increased interest during the last couple of years is the stimulation of nervous tissue using infrared laser light. READ MORE

  7. 25. The role of the gut microbiota in central energy balance regulation

    Author : Christina Heiss; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; energy balance regulation; hypothalamic inflammation; astrocytes; blood-brain barrier; neurons;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota can affect development and metabolism in the host. Today, much is still unknown regarding the effects of the gut microbiota on central energy balance regulation. We used mouse models to determine the role of the gut microbiota in diet- induced hypothalamic inflammation as well as in hypothalamic development. READ MORE
