16. Dynamical atmospheres and winds of M-type AGB stars
Abstract : Mass loss, in the form of slow stellar winds, is a decisive factor for the evolution of cool luminous giants, eventually turning them into white dwarfs. These dense outflows are also a key factor in the enrichment of the interstellar medium with newly produced elements from the interior of these stars. READ MORE

17. The effect of physical activity and other lifestyle factors on dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and structural brain changes
Abstract : Dementia is one of the major public health concerns and its impact is increasing rapidly in aging populations. Recent research has suggested that the origin of dementia and Alzheimer´s disease (AD), which is the most common form of dementia, is multifactorial including both genetic and environmental factors.

18. On age related changes in axons and glia of the central nervous system
Abstract : A growing body of evidence shows that phenotypic changes including axon aberrations, rather than loss of neurons, account for behavioral impairments during aging. The present thesis was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of axon aberrations in relation to transmitter identity, glial reaction and sensorimotor disturbances. READ MORE

19. Structural and functional changes in the brain after surgically repaired median nerve injury
Abstract : Despite the best available surgical repair, traumatic median nerve injury within the forearm typically causes lifelong impairment in hand function. This stems from an inadequate reinnervation of the nerves supporting sensory functions of the thumb, index and long finger, and of nerves supplying intrinsic hand muscles. READ MORE

Abstract : The influence of foreign-language acquisition on adult brain structure remains mostly unexplored. Whilst several cross-sectional studies have led to further understanding of how language can affect brain structure, only a few longitudinal studies have been conducted. READ MORE
