  2. 1. Diving into the zebrafish locomotor network : A study on dI6 interneurons

    Author : Ana Belen Iglesias Gonzalez; Henrik Boije; Filippo Del Bene; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; danio rerio; locomotion; dmrt3a; wt1a; calretinin; transcriptome; spinal cord; morphology; dI6 neurons; knock-down out; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The generation and coordination of locomotion comprise of inhibitory and excitatory interneurons that govern motor neuron output to muscles. This neuronal network is known as the central pattern generator (CPG). Spinal inhibitory interneurons that originate from the dI6 population play a crucial role in the coordination of locomotor output. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evolution of acetylcholine receptors and study of the anatomy of the mouse brain reward system

    Author : Julia Pedersen; Dan Larhammar; Arnaud Chatonnet; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ventral Tegmental Area; Mesocorticolimbic system; Glutamate; Optogenetics; Histology; Acetylcholine; Receptor; Muscarininc; Nicotinic; G protein-coupled receptor; Gene duplication; Tetraploidization; Synteny; Paralogon; Ohnolog; Zebrafish; Spotted gar; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis work is divided in two parts. In the first part, I make use of the transgenic TRPV1-Cre mouse line as a tool to investigate the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA). READ MORE

  5. 3. Neural correlates of diverse navigational strategies

    Author : Marcel Sayre; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; central complex; connectome; path integration; bees; ants; neuroethology; neuroscience;

    Abstract : Insects have evolved diverse and remarkable strategies for navigating in various ecologies all over the world. In particular, central place foragers, such as bees and ants, have become renowned for their fascinating navigational capabilities. At the heart of insect navigation lies a brain area known as the central complex (CX). READ MORE

  6. 4. Therapeutic and functional studies in animal models of Alzheimer's disease

    Author : Astrid Gumucio; Lars Nilsson; Richard Cowburn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Amyloid-beta; Immunotherapy; IntelliCage; Microtubule; Tau; Alternative splicing; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Biochemistry; Medicinsk biokemi;

    Abstract : Senile plaques (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles (tau) are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). If and how the formation of these deposits are mechanistically linked remains mainly unknown. In recent years, the focus has shifted from insoluble protein deposits to soluble aggregates of Aβ and tau. READ MORE

  7. 5. Neuronal Networks of Movement : Slc10a4 as a Modulator & Dmrt3 as a Gait-keeper

    Author : Martin Larhammar; Klas Kullander; Leif Andersson; Åsa Wallén-Mackenzie; Robert Fyffe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synaptic vesicle transporter; Neuromodulation; Dopamine; Central Pattern Generator; Locomotion; Gait; Horse; Mouse; Commissural Inhibitory Interneuron; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Nerve cells are organized into complex networks that comprise the building blocks of our nervous system. Neurons communicate by transmitting messenger molecules released from synaptic vesicles. Alterations in neuronal circuitry and synaptic signaling contribute to a wide range of neurological conditions, often with consequences for movement. READ MORE
