  2. 1. Towards Cortex Isomorphic Attractor Neural Networks

    Author : Christopher Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Attractor Neural Networks; Cerebral Cortex; Minicolumns; Hypercolumns; Potts Neural Networks; BCPNN; and Parallel Computers;

    Abstract : In this thesis we model the mammalian cerebral cortex withattractor neural networks and study the parallelimplementations of these models. First, we review the size, structure, and scaling laws ofthe cerebral cortex of five mammals; mouse, rat, cat, macaque,and human. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cerebral Venous Thrombosis - Complications and Outcomes

    Author : Erik Lindgren; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebral venous thrombosis; complications; outcome; seizures; return to work; dural arteriovenous fistula; follow-up;

    Abstract : Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively rare cause of stroke, which predominantly affects working-aged adults and particularly women. The clinical course is highly miscellaneous. Data from large cohorts are scarce and knowledge on CVT complications and outcomes are limited. READ MORE

  5. 3. Astrocyte metabolism following focal cerebral ischemia

    Author : Anna E Thoren; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Keywords : Astrocyte; metabolism; focal cerebral ischemia; reperfusion; infarct; [1-14C]acetate; [U-14C]glucose; glutamine; glutamate; ATP; ADP; lactate; MCT4; immunogold cytochemistry;

    Abstract : Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death. Most often, stroke results from blockage of an artery in the brain leading to tissue infarction within the perfusion territory of the affected vessel. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects of memory and representation in cortical computation

    Author : Martin Rehn; Anders Lansner; Örjan Ekeberg; Peter Földiák; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cerebral cortex; neural networks; attractor memory; sequence learning; biological vision; generative models; serial order; computational neuroscience; dynamical synapses; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Denna avhandling i datalogi föreslår modeller för hur vissa beräkningsmässiga uppgifter kan utföras av hjärnbarken. Utgångspunkten är dels kända fakta om hur en area i hjärnbarken är uppbyggd och fungerar, dels etablerade modellklasser inom beräkningsneurobiologi, såsom attraktorminnen och system för gles kodning.

  7. 5. Hypothalamic and cortical control of jaw reflexes

    Author : Kurt Å. Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cat; Oral projections; Cerebral cortex; Cytoarchitecture; Hypothalamus; Defence-Attack area; Jaw reflexes; Bruxism; Myofascial pain dysfunction;

    Abstract : The subject of the thesis is a study of the projections from low threshold oral and face afferents to the cerebral cortex and of descending motor control mechanisms originating in the cerebral cortex or the hypothalamus and influencing the jaw reflexes.Cats anaesthetized with chi oral ose were used for the experiments.
