  2. 1. Nano and Micro Patterned Organic Devices : From Neural Interfaces to Optoelectronic Devices

    Author : Tobias Nyberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis describes fabrication methods for optoelectronic devices (light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodiodes) and structures for neural interfacing (neural electrodes and nerve guidance structures) using semiconducting and conducting organic materials as the active elements. Special importance has been attached to the patterning and processing of these devices. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neurosteroids Induce Allosteric Effects on the NMDA Receptor : Nanomolar Concentrations of Neurosteroids Exert Non-Genomic Effects on the NMDA Receptor Complex

    Author : Tobias Johansson; Fred Nyberg; Pierre Le Grevès; Elisabeth Hansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Pharmacology; neurosteroids; NMDA receptor; NR2B subunit; ifenprodil; sigma receptor; anabolic androgenic steroids; allosteric modulation; non-genomic; Farmaceutisk farmakologi;

    Abstract : The neurosteroids constitute a group of powerful hormones synthesized and acting in the central nervous system. They participate in a number of important central processes, such as memory and learning, mood and neuroprotection. READ MORE

    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. 5. Infrared Neural Modulation: Photothermal Effects on Cortex Neurons Using Infrared Laser Heating

    Author : Qingling Xia; Tobias Nyberg; Björn Granseth; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neural modulation; infrared laser; in - vitro experiment; multi - electrode arrays MEA ; heating model; temperature; neural networks; infrared neural inhibition INI ; hyperexcitation;

    Abstract : It would be of great value to have a precise and non-damaging neuromodulation technique in the field of basic neuroscience research and for clinical treatment of neurological diseases. Infrared neural modulation (INM) is a new modulation modality developed in the last decade, which uses pulsed or continues infrared (IR) light with a wavelength of 1200 to 2200 nm to directly alter neural signals.
