  1. 16. Analysis of Brain Signals from Patients with Parkinson’s Disease using Self-Supervised Learning

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

    Author : Emma Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Self-supervised learning; Feature extraction; Parkinson’s Disease; Magnetoencephalography; Electroencephalogram; Maskininlärning; Självlärande inlärning; Särdragsextraktion; Parkinsons sjukdom; Magnetoencefalografi; Elektroencefalografi;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative brain disorders, commonly diagnosed and monitored via clinical examinations, which can be imprecise and lead to a delayed or inaccurate diagnosis. Therefore, recent research has focused on finding biomarkers by analyzing brain networks’ neural activity to find abnormalities associated with PD pathology. READ MORE

  3. 17. Characterization of a Novel Tubular Carbon Fibre Based Electrode for Dopamine Detection with Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry

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

    Author : Sofia Hansson; [2022]
    Keywords : FSCV; Carbon Fibre Microelectrodes; Electrode development; Dopamine; Parkinson’s disease; In-vitro; FSCV; Kolfibermikroelektroder; Elektrodutveckling; Dopamin; Parkinsons sjukdom; In-vitro;

    Abstract : Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) is an electrochemical technique, based on ramping a voltage through a microelectrode and measuring the resulting redox current to obtain information about an electroactive molecule. FSCV can be used for the detection of dopamine, which is a vital neurotransmitter. READ MORE

  4. 18. Frequency analysis of whisker movement in mouse models of Parkinson's disease

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Vilhelm Hellmér; André Fredriksen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As the life expectancy in the world increases, so does the prevalence of many age-related diseases. One such disease is Parkinson’s disease (PD) which is a neurological disease that affects patients through tremors, muscle stiffness and has an inhibitory effect on movement. READ MORE

  5. 19. Quantification of motor behaviour in freely moving rodents

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Caroline Kattrup Frostemark; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Systems evaluating potential treatment methods for Parkinson’s disease and chronic pain conditions, using rodent experimental models, are highly needed. Currently used systems are aiming to evaluate these kinds of treatment methods by analyzing the animal’s motor behavior. READ MORE

  6. 20. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Stein Acker; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. READ MORE
