  2. 6. Experiences from Cochlear Implantation and Auditory Brainstem Implantation in Adults and Children : Electrophysiological Measurements, Hearing Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

    Author : Karin Lundin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Fredrik Stillesjö; Claes Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : cochlear implant; auditory brainstem implant; electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses; long deafness duration; neurofibromatosis type 2; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Cochlear implants (CIs) and auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are prostheses for hearing used in patients with profound hearing impairment. A CI requires an operational cochlear nerve to function in contrast to an ABI. READ MORE

  4. 7. The breathing brainstem : development of inspiration

    Author : David Forsberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Breathing is essential for life, and yet we do not fully understand the mechanisms that control it. The main central pattern generators for respiration include the inspiratory generating region called the preBötzinger Complex (preBötC), and the chemosensitive region called the parafacial respiratory group/retrotrapezoid nucleus (pFRG/RTN).

  5. 8. Multisensory control of gaze stabilization : from brainstem to bedside

    Author : Tobias Wibble; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Without the continuous updates provided by the vestibular and visual systems, our world would appear blurry and unstable. In order to allow the retina to reliably record incoming light in a meaningful way, the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and optokinetic reflex (OKR) aim to stabilize our gaze on visual features.

  6. 9. Cytoskeleton-interacting proteins in brainstem development : roles of KCC2 and Vangl2

    Author : Zachi Horn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The brainstem is the most evolutionary conserved division of the brain. It develops from the hindbrain and midbrain regions of the neural tube and forms neural networks that regulate vital functions of the body. One of the most critical roles is to generate respiratory rhythm for the regulation of oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels. READ MORE

  7. 10. Cellular correlates of sensory processing in the mammalian audio-vestibular brainstem

    Author : Sara Leijon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Efferent projections to the vestibular inner ear organs have remained elusive. To shed light on their physiological role, a first investigation of the vestibular efferent (VE) neurons in the brainstem was undertaken by using a transgenic mouse which expresses a fluorescent marker in the VE neurons.
