    Abstract : Experiences early in life or during adolescence modulate neuronal networks in the immature brain and consequently lay the foundation for future susceptibility or resilience towards psychiatric disorders. The objective in this thesis is to understand, in part, how the surrounding environment shapes the brain of a young individual. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early Environment, Adolescent Alcohol Drinking and Neurobiological Responses to Drugs

    Author : Sara Palm; Ingrid Nylander; Anne-Lie Svensson; Lundblad Martin; Giancarlo Colombo; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Genes and environment interact to determine an individual’s vulnerability or resilience to several psychiatric disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). Alcohol use is often initiated during adolescence and early onset drinking is associated with increased risk for later AUD. READ MORE

    Keywords : Angina pectoris; adenosine; myocardial ischemia; nociception; cardiac nervous system; neuropathic; analgesia; [beta]-endorphin; met-enkephlin; exercise; Syndrome X; silent ischemia; biopsies; physical training;

    Abstract : Angina pectoris is the major symptom of ischemic heart disease (IHD). It is a visceral pain and the clinical presentation is complex. Its character is not well defined and this is reflected in a lack of specific pain-mediating neural structures. READ MORE
