  2. 1. The corticogeniculate synapse : a neuronal amplifier?

    Author : Björn Granseth; Eric Hanse; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Consciousness is a nervous process that handles only a limited amount of information. Therefore the nervous system needs to select the most relevant input for aware processing. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neuronal mechanisms of feedback postural control

    Author : Li-Ju Hsu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : postural control; equilibrium; body configuration; reticulospinal neurons; stretch receptor neurons; galvanic vestibular stimulation; artificial feedback; locomotion; spinalization; rabbit; lamprey;

    Abstract : Different species maintain a basic body posture due to the activity of the postural control system. An efficient control of the body orientation, as well as the body configuration, is important for standing and during locomotion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cell-penetrating peptides and bioactive cargoes : Strategies and mechanisms

    Author : Kalle Kilk; Ülo Langel; Michael J. Gait; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell-penetrating peptide; delivery; Peptide nucleic acid; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : The cell membrane is an impermeable barrier for most macromolecules. Recently discovered cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have gained lot of attention because they can cross the membrane, and even more, carry cargoes with them. How CPPs enter cells is still not clear, while the delivery of different cargoes has been convincingly shown. READ MORE

  6. 4. Signaling Mechanisms in the Neuronal Networks of Pain and Itch

    Author : Katarzyna Rogoz; Klas Kullander; Malin Lagerström; Stephen McMahon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mouse genetics; neuronal network; glutamate; sensory neuron; dorsal root ganglion; pain; itch; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Glutamate is the essential neurotransmitters in pain pathways. The discovery of the vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1-3) has been a fundamental step on the way to describe glutamate-dependent pain pathways. We used the Cre-lox system to construct conditional knockouts with deficient Vglut2 transmission in specific neuronal populations. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Autonomic Control of Blood Flow and Secretion in Salivary Glands. Functional and morphological aspects on muscarinic receptor subtypes in different species

    Author : Anders Ryberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Muscarinic receptor subtype; neuronal; non-neuronal; expression; secretion; blood flow; salivary gland; human; rat; sheep;

    Abstract : Parasympathetic nervous activity is the principal stimulus for evoking fluid responses within salivary glands. Concomitantly to the onset of this response, the blood flow increases. READ MORE
