1. Studies of Spinal Motor Control Networks in Genetically Modified Mouse Models
Abstract : Spinal neurons are important in several aspects motor control. For example, the neurons essential for locomotor movements reside in the ventral spinal cord. In this thesis, different motor control functions are being related to neuronal populations defined by their common expression of a gene. READ MORE

2. Computational modeling of the lamprey CPG : from subcellular to network level
Abstract : Due to the staggering complexity of the nervous system, computer modelling is becoming one of the standard tools in the neuroscientist's toolkit. In this thesis, I use computer models on different levels of abstraction to compare hypotheses and seek un- derstanding about pattern-generating circuits (central pattern generators, or CPGs) in the lamprey spinal cord.

3. Untangling Cortico-Striatal Circuitry and its Role in Health and Disease - A computational investigation
Abstract : The basal ganglia (BG) play a critical role in a variety of regular motor and cognitive functions. Many brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s diseases, Huntington’s disease and dyskinesia, are directly related to malfunctions of the BG nuclei. READ MORE

4. My first-passage : target search in physics and biology
Abstract : Random walks and diffusing particles have been a corner stone in modelling the random motion of a varying quantity with applications spanning over many research fields. And in most of the applications one can ask a question related to when something happened for the first time. That is, a first-passage problem. READ MORE

5. Information Processing in the Nervous System. On a Holistic Functional Organization Principle
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the nature of information processing in the nervous system. This issue has been investigated with animal experiments, using male Sprague–Dawley rats, and simulated touch generated by an artificial fingertip with neuromorphic tactile sensors. READ MORE
