2. 1. Cerebellar Control of Classical Conditioning

   Author : Magnus Ivarsson; Neurofysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Associative module; Bilateral; Orbicularis oculi muscle; Inferior olive; Purkinje cell; Eyeblink; Conditioned response; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology;

   Abstract : It has previously been shown that the cerebellum is critical for classical conditioning. The experiments presented in this thesis aimed to study how the cerebellum controls conditioned eyeblink responses (CRs) and specifically the efferent path from the cerebellar cortex to the muscles.

4. 2. Feedback control of cerebellar learning

   Author : Anders Rasmussen; Associativ inlärning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Motor learning; Rescorla-Wagner; Anticipation; In vivo Electrophysiology; Purkinje cells; Nucleo-Olivary inhibition; Inferior Olive; Classical Conditioning; Eyeblink Conditioning; Feedback;

   Abstract : The ability to anticipate future events and to modify erroneous anticipatory actions is crucial for the survival of any organism. Both theoretical and empirical lines of evidence implicate the cerebellum in this ability. It is often suggested that the cerebellum acquires “expectations” or “internal models”. READ MORE

5. 3. PDGF in cerebellar development and tumorigenesis

   Author : Johanna Andræ; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; cerebellum; medulloblastoma; PDGF; GFAP; transgenic mice; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant cerebellar childhood tumor. As in many other brain tumors, expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors has been shown in medulloblastoma. READ MORE

6. 4. Cerebellar function during development. Eyeblink conditioning, prism adaptation and interval production in children and adults

   Author : Karolina Löwgren; foniatri och audiologi Logopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebellum; Eyeblink conditioning; Prism adaptation; Finger tapping; Development; Children; Adults; Cerebellar function; Neurodevelopmental disorders; Cognitive disorders;

   Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on cerebellar-dependent sensorimotor tasks during development. The performance in classical delay eyeblink conditioning, prism adaptation, and isochronous serial interval production (finger tapping) was explored in typically developing school-aged children, young adolescents, and adults.

7. 5. Cerebellar pathways and mechanisms in classical conditioning

   Author : Pär Svensson; Neurofysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; Climbing Fibers; Conditioned Response; Mossy Fibers; Ferret; Eyeblink; Cerebellum; Classical Conditioning; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

   Abstract : It has been suggested that the cerebellar mossy fibre afferents transmit the conditioned stimulus (CS) information to the cerebellum. Several studies are consistent with this suggestion but alternative explanations have not been excluded. READ MORE
