1. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologiAbstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE

2. Optogenetic and multiplexed gene editing in primary T-cells.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Current T-cell tracking techniques in vivo are limited. The ability to successfully target a gene in vivo in T-cells and track movement throughout its life cycle provides an exciting opportunity to elucidate the functions of genes. READ MORE

3. Sex-differences in reported adverse side-effects caused by Deep Brain Stimulation therapy in the subthalamic nucleus
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological disease which will progressively damagedopaminergic neurons in the brain. Later stages of the disease will result in death of theneurons. The diagnosis is often made with respect to the motor symptoms, which includetremors, bradykinesia, and rigidity. READ MORE

4. Whole-Cell Patch Clamp Investigations on Rapid Synaptic Scaling of Mouse CA1 Pyramidal Neurons under Optogenetic Stimulation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/BeräkningskemiAbstract : The brain consists of billions of neurons forming intricate contiguous networks. The connective strength in these networks change throughout life in response to experience and environmental stimuli. READ MORE

5. Validation of micro-platelet LED for subcellular optogenetic activation in primary cell cultures
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Epilepsy is to this day still a serious neurological diseases where treatments such as pharmaceutical agents and surgery can at most alleviate the symptoms, but not cure it. This disease is still not fully understood at a cellular and network-level, but the recent advancements in the field of optogenetics can serve as an alternative way of studying the brain and diseases such as epilepsy.
