  1. 21. Dynamic synapses in neural information processing : Examining the influence of short-term synaptic plasticity on neural coding

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

    Author : Oscar Spolander; [2022]
    Keywords : Short-term synaptic plasticity; Neural codes; Action Potential; Neuron firing rate; Rate code; Kort synaptiskt plasticitet; Neurala koder; Nervimpuls; Impulsfrekvens för nervcell; Frekvenskod;

    Abstract : Short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) is a phenomenon that has been closely associated with how neurons communicate with each other. I study communication between neurons tied to synapses endowed with short-term plasticity (dynamic synapses). READ MORE

  3. 22. Quantification of the expression of hsa-mir-34c-5p in neuroblastoma cells

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Lorena Trissl; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuroblastomas are the most common extra-cranial abnormal growths in immature nerve tissue within the sympathetic nervous system, in children ages 0-5. It is a heterogeneous malignancy, often emerging in and around adrenal glands, caused by rapid growth and division of nerve cells. READ MORE

  4. 23. Enhancing Sensory Discrimination Training using Brain Modulation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Agnes Westerlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Transcranial direct current stimulation; sensory discrimination training; tactile acuity; phantom limb pain; two-point discrimination test; Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test;

    Abstract : Damage to the nervous system may cause sensorimotor impairment, often resulting in chronic neuropathic pain. Phantom limb pain affects multiple amputees and the treatment options are limited. A promising treatment option to reduce chronic pain is by training sensory discrimination. READ MORE

  5. 24. The Wim Hof Methods Effect on Heart Rate Variability and Subjective Well-Being

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Karl Hallenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : wim hof method; heart rate variability; subjective well-being; panas; swls;

    Abstract : The Wim Hof Method (WHM) is a contemporary combination of techniques including a breathing exercise, mindset and cold exposure. Interest in the method has blossomed in recent years as scientific studies has presented promising results on the methods impact on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) as well as the immune system.

  6. 25. Nature's effect on stress in women : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sofia Rang; [2022]
    Keywords : Nature; forest environment; stress; heart-rate variability; near-infrared spectroscopy;

    Abstract : This systematic review aims to evaluate which effects nature exposure has on stress in women and get a more objective viewpoint using measurements of physiological markers of stress to complement the many studies using subjective questionnaires. A search was done on Scopus, Medline EBSCO, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed, published, and original research. READ MORE
