  2. 1. Lithium and brain plasticity - studies on glial cell changes and electroconvulsive treatment-induced amnesia in rats

    Author : Karin Orre; Enheten för psykiatrisk neuromodulering (PNU); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lithium; electroconvulsive seizures; mood disorder; gliogenesis; amnesia; oligodendrogenesis; myelination; NG2 cells;

    Abstract : Depression and bipolar disorder, collectively known as mood disorders, are devastating, common and often chronic illnesses. Imaging studies of patients with mood disorders have demonstrated structural changes in several brain regions implicated in mood regulation. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Glial Role in the Action of Electroconvulsive Therapy

    Author : Malin Wennström; Enheten för psykiatrisk neuromodulering (PNU); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Psykiatri; klinisk psykologi; psykosomatik; psychosomatics; clinical psychology; Psychiatry; Hippocampus; Depression; Gliogenesis; Electroconvulsive seizures;

    Abstract : The aim of the current thesis was to investigate glial responses to electroconvulsive seizures (ECS), an animal model of the fast-acting antidepressant treatment electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Depression, a common and devastating disorder, has in recent years been associated with volumetric changes in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala, brain regions known to be implicated in emotional behavior.

  5. 3. Simultaneous profiling of cell types and lineages in neuro- and gliogenesis

    Author : Leonie von Berlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mammalian brain consists of billions of highly specialized cells and trillions of connections between them. This immense complexity arises from a single layer of neuroepithelial progenitor cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Neurogenesis and gliogenesis after focal brain ischemia. Modulation by enriched environment and exercise

    Author : Mila Komitova; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : astrocyte; hippocampus; neural progenitor cells; neural stem cells; neurogenesis; neurotrophins; rat; regeneration; rehabilitation; stroke;

    Abstract : New neurons are formed from dividing neural stem cells in restricted areas in the adult mammalian brain: the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation (DG) and the forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ). New glia also form constitutively and seem to be important for neuronal function. READ MORE

  7. 5. Epigenetic and bioelectronic tools to study neural stem cells in health and disease

    Author : Christina Neofytou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Brain development is a highly controlled, complex, and dynamic process. The mechanisms of its control need to accommodate the constantly changing contexts which, overtime, support the emergence of new neural structures and functions. READ MORE
