2. 6. Spinal Control of Locomotion : Developmental and Functional Aspects

   Author : Nadine Rabe; Klas Kullander; Artur Kania; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuronal network; commissural interneuron; developmental interneuron subtypes; V3; mouse genetics; Pitx2; axon guidance; netrin-1; DCC; EphA4; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi; Developmental Neurosciences; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : Neuronal networks are the central functional units of the nervous system. Knowledge about the identity of participating neurons and the assembly of these during development is crucial for the understanding of CNS function. READ MORE

4. 7. Intensive Care Unit Muscle Wasting : Skeletal Muscle Phenotype and Underlying Molecular Mechanisms

   Author : Sudhakar Reddy Aare; Larsson Lars; Rooyackers Olav; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute quadriplegic myopathy; gene expression; myosin; heat shock proteins; mechanical ventilation; myostatin; sepsis; corticosteroids; diaphragm; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi;

   Abstract : Acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM), or critical illness myopathy, is a common debilitating acquired disorder in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients characterized by generalized muscle wasting and weakness of limb and trunk muscles. A preferential loss of the thick filament protein myosin is considered pathognomonic of this disorder, but the myosin loss is observed relatively late during the disease progression. READ MORE

5. 8. Re-evaluation of the hypothesis that LTP has two temporal phases and that the late phase is protein synthesis-dependent

   Author : Abdul-Karim Abbas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine;

   Abstract : Long-term potentiation (LTP) is an activity-dependent increase in synaptic efficacy that is most studied in the hippocampus and that is considered a cellular substrate for learning and memory. Accepting the belief that the durability (persistence in time) of LTP is analogical to long-standing store of hippocampus-dependent memories warrants the necessity for understanding the mechanisms underlying LTP stabilization.

6. 9. Cognition and activity early after stroke

   Author : Tamar Abzhandadze; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute stroke; Activities of Daily Living; Cognition; Function; Functional cognition; Dependency; Global disability; Prediction; Screening; Assessment; Stroke unit; Registries; Ischemic stroke; Intracerebral hemorrhage; Occupational therapy; Rehabilitation;

   Abstract : Introduction and aims: Cognitive impairment and dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) are common consequences of stroke. Due to a decrease in the length of hospital stay, assessment of these conditions has become necessary for the planning of discharge and rehabilitation. READ MORE

7. 10. On Aging, Behavior and the Role of PA28αβ in Protein Homeostasis

   Author : Julia Adelöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aggregation prevention; Aging; Animal ethics; Cataract; Exploratory behavior; F2 hybrid mice; Healthy aging; Learning and memory; PA28αβ; Proteasome capacity; Sex comparisons; Water-based behavioral tests;

   Abstract : As life expectancy increases, understanding challenges related to the processes of aging are more relevant than ever. Common age-related diseases progress as consequences of accumulative protein damage and protein aggregates. READ MORE
