  2. 1. Physical Modeling of Brain and Head Kinematics

    Author : Johan Ivarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; brain injury; skull base; rotational acceleration; physical models; lateral ventricles; head kinematics; padding materials; sulci; free motion headform; brain kinematics;

    Abstract : The development of head injury criteria and countermeasures for head protection requires understanding of how different factors affect brain and head kinematics. In this thesis, 2D physical models of the human head were developed and used to evaluate how various factors affect brain kinematics during angular head kinematics. READ MORE

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a great burden for the society worldwide and the statisticsindicates a relative constant total annual rate of TBI. It seems that the present preventativestrategies are not sufficient. To be able to develop head safety measures against accidents ine.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neural correlates of hand function in typically developing individuals and children with unilateral cerebral palsy

    Author : Linda Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The ability to use our hands is crucial in order to achieve the goals of almost all activities in everyday life. Most of us learn how to handle objects and adjust our hand and finger movements to perform increasingly difficult tasks during childhood and adolescence. READ MORE

  6. 4. The aging frontal lobe in health and disease : a structural magnetic resonance imaging study

    Author : Olof Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cortical and subcortical regions of the brain decrease in volume in normal as well as pathological aging. Previous studies indicate that certain parts of the brain, like the prefrontal cortex, may be particularly vulnerable to age-related processes which are manifested by significant volume loss in this region.
