1. 1. Resting-state Functional Connectivity in Anhedonia: Exploring the Effects of Pramipexole

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Frida Smids; [2023]
   Keywords : Anhedonia; Depression; Reward; Pramipexole; Resting-state; Functional Connectivity; Nucleus Accumbens; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Pramipexole is a medication that normalises dopamine signalling in the brain. Previous studies have suggested that pramipexole is an effective treatment option for depression and anhedonia because it targets the dopaminergic pathways within the brain’s reward network. READ MORE

3. 2. Traumatic brain injury and its impact on working memory : A systematic review

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Li Hallgren; Naema Adani Mohammed; [2023]
   Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; working memory; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; transcranial direct current stimulation;

   Abstract : The purpose of this systematic review is to provide insight into the impact traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on the executive function known as the working memory. TBI is a damage to the brain that occurs when the brain is critically injured to the degree that it impacts several brain regions and functions such as the hippocampus, its surrounding areas, the prefrontal cortex, and the performance of the working memory ability.

4. 3. Regression with Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Networks

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

   Author : Raghav Rajendran Bongole; [2023]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Neural Networks; Brain-like computing; Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Networks; Maskininlärning; neurala nätverk; hjärnliknande datorer; Bayesian Förtroendespridande neurala nätverk;

   Abstract : Bayesian Confidence Propagating Neural Networks (BCPNNs) are biologically inspired artificial neural networks. These networks have been modeled to account for brain-like aspects such as modular architecture, divisive normalization, sparse connectivity, and Hebbian learning. READ MORE

5. 4. Neural functional connections of pragmatics : A potential pragmatic network in development

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

   Author : Ronja Forsgren Roll; [2023]
   Keywords : Pragmatics; development; adolescence; networks; functional connectivity; theory of mind; executive functions; Pragmatik; utveckling; ungdomar; nätverk; funktionell konnektivitet; theory of mind; exekutiva funktioner;

   Abstract : Pragmatic ability is crucial in everyday interactions. In populations of neurotypical individuals, pragmatic skill varies greatly. The neural mechanisms behind the variety, and the neural development of pragmatics remain to be explained. READ MORE

6. 5. The data-driven CyberSpine : Modeling the Epidural Electrical Stimulation using Finite Element Model and Artificial Neural Networks

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

   Author : Yu Qin; [2023]
   Keywords : Spinal Cord Injury; Epidural Electrical Stimulation; Computational Neuroscience; Finite Element Model; Artificial Intelligence; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muscle Activation; Ryggmärgsskada; Epidural Elektrisk Stimulering; Beräkningsneurovetenskap; Finita Elementmodellen; Artificiell Intelligens; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muskelaktivering;

   Abstract : Every year, 250,000 people worldwide suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) that leaves them with chronic paraplegia - permanent loss of ability to move their legs. SCI interrupts axons passing along the spinal cord, thereby isolating motor neurons from brain inputs. To date, there are no effective treatments that can reconnect these interrupted axons. READ MORE
