  2. 1. The layer that did not swim away : Broadband acoustic discrimination and characterization of ocean stratification

    Author : Elizabeth Reed-Weidner; Martin Jakobsson; Richard Hobbs; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acoustical Oceanography; acoustics; oceanography; stratification; remote sensing; maringeologi; Marine Geology;

    Abstract : Ocean stratification plays a critical role in many oceanographic processes. The magnitude of mixing between stable water masses is regulated, in part, by the intensity of stratification. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hippocampal galanin and acetylcholine in spatial learning

    Author : Pär A Schött; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : hippocampus; galanin; acetylcholine; memory and learning; swim maze; microinjections; HPLC;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to study how the neuropeptide galanin affects the neurochemistry and functional activity of the cholinergic septohippocampal projection, which plays a pivotal role in learning and memory. This cholinergic system is strongly impaired in Alzheimer's disease and in age-related dementias. READ MORE
