2. 21. The neurocognitive basis of confabulatory introspection : Choice blindness and the brain

   Author : Gabriel Vogel; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Confabulation; introspection; fMRI; sense of agency; decision; self-knowledge; metacognition; cognitive neuroscience;

   Abstract : The goal of this thesis is to advance our understanding of introspection by studying when it fails, without us being aware of it. To do so, I have used the choice blindness paradigm. READ MORE

4. 22. Spontaneous Movements during Sleep Guide Spinal Self-organization: Formation and Expression of a Memory Trace

   Author : Per Petersson; Neurofysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neuropsychology; Neurology; long-term memory; somatosensory; receptive field; learning; sensorimotor; developmental; neurophysiology; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi;

   Abstract : During development, information about the three-dimensional shape and mechanical properties of the body is laid down in the synaptic connectivity of sensorimotor systems through adaptive mechanisms. In spinal reflex systems, this enables the fast transformation of complex sensory information into adequate correction of movements. READ MORE

5. 23. Tailoring and standardizing the assessment of ability and disability in ADHD and autism : the development of WHO ICF core sets

   Author : Soheil Mahdi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The concept of health has evolved over time and is today considered a multidimensional construct that involves not only absence of impairments or pathologies, but also quality of life and individual functioning. This conceptualization is especially important to individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), as these are characterized by early-onset symptoms that tend to persist into adulthood, interfering with individual well-being, daily life activities and engagement in society.

6. 24. Development of visual-motor coordination in children with neurological dysfunctions

   Author : Şermin Tükel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Graphomotor skills are complex perceptual-motor skills that are dependent upon the maturation and integration of a number of cognitive, perceptual and motor skills. They gradually develop through practice and instruction, and require good communication between the visual and the motor systems. READ MORE

7. 25. Brain galanin sytems and their role in depression-like behaviour

   Author : Eugenia Kuteeva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : 5-HT1A receptor; depression-like behaviour; forced swim test; galanin; galanin-overexpressing; galanin receptor; noradrenaline; serotonin; transgenic mouse;

   Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the role of the neuropeptide galanin and galanin receptor subtypes in behavioural functions with a particular focus on depression-like behaviour. In agreement with its wide distribution in the central nervous system, galanin has been implicated in various functions, including regulation of reproduction, endocrine functions, antinociception, attention, learning and memory as well as regulation of mood.
