  2. 1. Neurogenesis and transplantation in stroke-damaged brain

    Author : Vladimer Darsalia; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; Neurology; Stroke; Transplantation; Stem cells; Aging; Neurogenesis; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Stroke in young adult rodents triggers neurogenesis in the damaged striatum and intact hippocampus. as stroke happens frequently in aged individuals it is of great importance to know whether aging affects brain recovery mechanisms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Behavior and cytogenesis following irradiation or isoflurane exposure to the developing brain

    Author : Niklas Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiotherapy; isoflurane; anesthesia; hippocampus; neurogenesis; memory; learning; intellicage; dentate gyrus; trace fear conditioning; open field; object recognition;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the effects of an anesthetic agent, isoflurane, on the young brain and resulting behavioral effects were investigated. Anesthesia is commonly used in young children during surgery or other procedures associated with pain or discomfort. READ MORE

  5. 3. Brain Regeneration - in vitro and in vivo studies of exercise-related effects on brain plasticity

    Author : Cecilia Bull; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : brain; neural progenitor cells; stem cells; hippocampus; corpus collosum; rat; mouse; regeneration; neurogenesis; oligodendrogenesis; irradiation; exercise;

    Abstract : Neural stem and progenitor cells in the germinal regions of the adult brain, such as the hippocampus, are of great interest, because they provide the possibility for enhanced brain plasticity or can contribute to endogenous cell replacement after injury or disease. Voluntary exercise was recently shown to robustly induce cellular and structural plasticity, thereby contributing to overall brain health. READ MORE

  6. 4. GH/IGF-I axis regulation of cardiovascular and neuronal gene expression and function

    Author : Anna Barlind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Growth hormone; rat; hypophysectomy; vascular resistance; gene expression; place learning; Intellicage; hexarelin; CNS; hippocampus; neurogenesis; cell survival; mouse;

    Abstract : Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in the Western world. Another important clinical condition is brain damage due to radiation therapy in cancer patients. This has neurological impairments presenting in the survivors. For both these conditions, it is important to develop new therapeutic strategies. READ MORE

  7. 5. On astrocytes and neural stem cells : a study of reactive and canonical neurogenesis

    Author : Margherita Zamboni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mammalian central nervous system has limited regenerative capacity and the long-lasting functional impairment resulting from trauma and neurodegenerative disease derives from a failure to repopulate neuronal cell populations that are lost to injury. The studies included in the present thesis aim at proposing astrocytes as a novel source for achieving widespread replacement of neurons. READ MORE
