  2. 16. Proteomic Characterization of Induced Developmental Neurotoxicity

    Author : Henrik Alm; Lennart Dencker; R Stuart Cobb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteomics; Brain Development; Neurotoxicity; 2D-DIGE; Brain Growth Spurt; Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether; Neonatal; Striatum; Hippocampus; Cerebral Cortex; Parkinsonism; Dyskinesia; Toxicology; Toxikologi; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

    Abstract : The developing brain goes through a number of developmental periods during which it displays an increased sensitivity to exogenous disturbances. On such period is the so called “Brain growth spurt” (BGS) which in humans takes place starting from the third trimester of pregnancy and throughout the first few years of life. READ MORE

  4. 17. Body perception and brain plasticity in blind and sighted individuals

    Author : Dominika Radziun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lack of vision is associated with large-scale brain plasticity. Vision, touch, proprioception, interoception, and other sensory modalities are thought to play a vital role in developing and maintaining bodily awareness. READ MORE

  5. 18. Mental disorders as risk factors, comorbidities, and consequences of cancer

    Author : Qianwei Liu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer and mental disorders are both heterogenous groups of diseases and with substantial public health burden. Accumulating evidence has supported an elevated risk of mental disorders among patients with cancer. READ MORE

  6. 19. Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide in the brain

    Author : Jenny Nyberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : neural progenitor cells; neural stem cells; hippocampus; cell proliferation; GIP; neuropeptides; insulinotropic; gastrointestinal;

    Abstract : The hippocampus is an area of active cell proliferation and neurogenesis within the adult mammalian brain. Adult neurogenesis is of great importance for the brain, since it increases neuroplasticity and the ability to respond to environmental stimuli. READ MORE

  7. 20. Regulation of cardiorespiratory homeostasis in adult and developing rat by catecholamines : effects of hypoxia

    Author : Julie Peyronnet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : hypoxia; brainstem; catecholamines; chemoreflexe; ventilation; perinatal rat;

    Abstract : The aims of the present study were as follow 1) to characterise the neuroplasticity of sympathetic ganglia in the adult rat, after exposure to long-term hypoxia and/or axotomy of the superior cervical ganglion (SCG). The cellular distributions of TH (tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in catecholamine biosynthesis) and VIP (vasointestinal peptide, which enhances the expression of TH) were examined.
