1. 1. Hemocytes and neural injury in freshwater crayfish : Does the melanization reaction matter?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Amanda Gustafsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Melanization; neural injury; freshwater crayfish; Melanisering; nervskada; sötvattenskräfta;

   Abstract : Neurogenesis primarily occurs during embryonic development in decapod crustaceans, ending when the embryonic precursor cells die. However, areas in the central olfactory pathway are exceptions to this. Here, neurons are produced throughout the animal’s life from precursor cells in the neurogenic niche. READ MORE

3. 2. Lion’s mane mushroom : A fungus to remember, a novel venture into dementia therapy

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Sophia Datsen; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : As life expectancy increases globally, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases, some of which are more difficult to adapt to and accommodate for than others. In particular, neurodegenerative disorders are among those for which adaptations are more complex, often requiring long-term care. READ MORE

4. 3. Differential Thyroid Hormone Signaling in Human Astrocytes and Microglia

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Renée Levisson; [2021]
   Keywords : Thyroid hormones; Signaling; Astrocytes; Microglia;

   Abstract : Thyroid hormones (THs) play a fundamental role in brain function during development and adulthood. THs are essential regulators of neurogenesis, cell maturation and migration as well myelination and synaptogenesis. READ MORE

5. 4. Emotional resilience in humans as an effect of hippocampal pattern separation

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Thomas Wahlund; [2021]
   Keywords : Pattern separation; adult neurogenesis; mnemonic similarity task; anxiety; fear generalization;

   Abstract : Pattern separation is the means by which the brain discriminates similar experiences. It enables retrieval of individuated memories without confusing them with other memories. It is the reason one remembers where one parked the car today and does not mix it up with where one parked it previously. READ MORE

6. 5. Protective capabilities of allopregnanolone against induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells relative to Alzheimer´s disease.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

   Author : Mohamed Mustafa; [2020]
   Keywords : allopregnanolone; neurosteroid; alzheimer s disease; SH-SY5Y; neuroprotection;

   Abstract : When the brain is exposed to a traumatic injury, the brain produces high amounts of neurosteroids like allopregnanolone and progesterone which show protective and neurogenic capacities. Alzheimer’s disease patients also have lower amounts of these neurosteroids in brain tissue. READ MORE
