  2. 1. Chemical circuitry in the visual system of the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Agata Kolodziejczyk; Dick Nässel; Axel Borst; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optic lobe; lamina; neurotransmitters; neuropeptides; tangential neurons; Animal physiology; Zoofysiologi; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

    Abstract : Signal processing in the visual system is mediated by classic neurotransmission and neuropeptidergic modulatory pathways. In Dipteran insects, especially in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, the morphology of the visual system is very well described. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography in Epilepsy Surgery Candidates

    Author : Daniel Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : epilepsy; epilepsy surgery; temporal lobe resection; optic radiation; diffusion tensor imaging; tractography;

    Abstract : In selected patients with medically refractory epilepsy, surgical treatment can render the patients seizure free or significantly reduce seizure frequency. Temporal lobe resection (TLR) for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most commonly performed epilepsy surgery procedure. READ MORE

  5. 3. Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography of the Visual Pathways

    Author : Ylva Lilja; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diffusion tensor imaging; Visual pathways; Tractography; Temporal lobe resection; Pituitary adenomas;

    Abstract : The visual pathways are essential for human vision, stretching from the retinas of the eyes, via the anterior visual pathways and the optic radiations, to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Injury to these structures will lead to visual impairment – from small deficits to blindness. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigating the function of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase

    Author : Emma Vernersson Lindahl; Bengt Hallberg; Ruth Palmer; Göran Roos; Carina Hellberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALK; nervous system; knockout; development; Jelly-Belly; Pathology; Patologi;

    Abstract : Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) was discovered in 1994, as a chromosomal translocation, t(2;5)(p23;q35), often seen in Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas (ALCL). Since then ALK has been extensively studied in this disease as well as in different model organisms. READ MORE
