    Abstract : TBI stands for Traumatic Brain Injury and refers to damage to the brain resulting from an external physical force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Common causes of TBI include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and violence and has been linked to thousands of deaths and injuries in the US and the EU alike. READ MORE

  3. 7. THE RE-EMERGENCE OF A PSYCHIATRIC PARADIGM : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICACY OF MDMA-ASSISTED AND PSILOCYBIN-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR PTSD AND MDD

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Andreas Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Psychedelic research became throttled in the 1970s, though the clinical interest for psychedelics has seen a resurgence in the last couple of decades for their application as psychotherapy-adjunct substances used to treat various psychological disorders. Primarily mediated through agonism at the serotonin 2a receptor, psychedelics encompass and subsequently effect vast areas of the brain and implicates several limbic structures of relevance for emotional processing.

  4. 8. Quantifying the Impact of Synaptic Delay and Neuronal Refractory Period on Criticality in Hierarchical Modular Neural Networks

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

    Author : Hannes Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Self-organized brain criticality suggests that the brain is able to operate near a critical point.With compelling evidence supporting the theory, it is important to understand whichbiological mechanisms are required for critical dynamics to occur. READ MORE

  5. 9. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

    Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

  6. 10. A comparison of neuron touch detection algorithms utilising voxelization and the data structures octree, k-d tree and R-tree

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

    Author : Jonathan Gustaf Cilli; Karin De Verdier; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Simulations of biologically detailed neuronal networks have become an essential tool in the study of the brain. An important step in the creation of these types of simulations is the detection of the connections between the nerve cells. This paper analyses the efficiency of four algorithms used for such purposes. READ MORE
