1. 1. Quantification of hand jerk asymmetry for infants in hemiplegic cerebral palsy assessment

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Anton Bölenius; Elias Wetterwik; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) is the most common form of cerebral palsy (CP) and affects roughly 1 in 400 infants. Unable to properly use the arm and leg of one side of the body, the disorder can have major negative impacts on a person’s life. New and improved methods of treating HCP have emerged in recent decades. READ MORE

3. 2. Design, production and in vitro evaluation of brain shuttle scFc-scFv8D3 affinity-mutants

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

   Author : Jonathan Efverström; [2023]
   Keywords : Blood-brain barrier; In-Cell BBB-trans assay; mTfR1; Transferrin receptor; scFc-scFv8D3; Blod-hjärn barriären; mTfR1; Transferrin receptorn; scFc-scFv8D3;

   Abstract : The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a challenge when developing monoclonal antibodies for neurological diseases as antibodies do not cross the BBB making brain distribution challenging. An antibody construct which binds mTfR1 to pass the BBB, scFc-scFv8D3, have previously been developed. READ MORE

4. 3. Multi-state and Time-varying Covariate Survival Models for Multiple Knee Contractures in People with Cerebral Palsy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Maiya Tebäck; [2023]
   Keywords : cerebral palsy; survival analysis; multi-state models; time-varying covariates; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for a group of neurological disorders, affecting motor function, movement and posture. Contractures, restrictions in the range of motion of joints, are a common problem affecting people living with cerebral palsy. READ MORE

5. 4. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Author : Georgina Chu; [2023]
   Keywords : cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

   Abstract : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.

6. 5. Psilocybin Induced Psychedelic Experiences : their Neural Mechanisms and Efficacy for Treating Depressive Disorders

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Linda Lindecrantz; Nicklas Villman; [2023]
   Keywords : psilocybin; depression; fMRI; systematic review; DMN;

   Abstract : The aim of this systematic review is to present the current literature on the therapeutic potential of the classic psychedelic compound psilocybin for depressive disorders and the neurocognitive mechanisms involved recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the electronic databases Web of Science, Scopus and Medline EBSCO using a Boolean search string containing the keywords psilocybin, depression, fMRI, MRI and PET.
