  1. 21. Functional and Dynamical Consequences of Long-Range Patchy Connections in the Primary Visual Cortex

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

    Author : Leo Laurenz Zeitler; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : While it is a known fact that higher mammals develop a differently structured primary visual cortex than rodents, the reason for this phenomenon remains unknown. Eutherian species that rely primarily on vision establish long-range patchy connections between locally clustered neurons. READ MORE

  3. 22. Investigation of the effects of Cannabidiol on sleep-like states and memory-associated brain events

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

    Author : Tugdual Adam; [2020]
    Keywords : neuroscience; cannabidiol; sleep; anaesthesia; urethane; memory; local field potential; data analysis; acute surgery; sharp-wave ripples;

    Abstract : A growing interest for Cannabidiol (CBD), a component of Cannabis Sativa, has occurred over the past years. The medical potential of the component is yet to be better characterized, as its effects on sleep, and in particular memory, are to date not well understood or consistently characterized. READ MORE

  4. 23. HIGH-FREQUENCY OSCILLATIONS IN A MOUSE MODEL OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Love Zachrisson; [2020]
    Keywords : 6-OHDA; Parkinson s Disease; Basal Ganglia; LID; Gamma oscillation; 80Hz; HFO; Multichannel electrode array; Parkinsons sjukdom; 6-OHDA; LID; HFO; Gamma oscillering; 80Hz; Basala Ganglierna; Elektrodimplantat;

    Abstract : Dopamine replacement therapy is the main method of treating Parkinson’s Disease (PD), however over time this treatment causes increasingly abnormal, involuntary movements. This symptom, known as Levodopa-Induced-Dyskinesia (LID) is associated with aberrant, high frequency oscillations (HFOs) in the motor cortex and basal ganglia, as demonstrated with implanted electrodes in human Parkinson’s patients as well as in a rat model of Parkinson’s Disease.

  5. 24. The effect of caffeine on anxiety-like behavior in rats

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Evelina Meurling; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adenosine is a neurotransmitter suggested to be involved in the mediation of anxiety in the brain by acting on adenosine receptors. High doses of caffeine, which is an adenosine receptor antagonist, can induce anxiety – like effects in both animals and humans, but the precise mechanism of action is still debated. READ MORE

  6. 25. Applying automatic operant boxes (“Skinner boxes”) for studies on behavioural flexibility in zebrafish (Danio rerio) 

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Winberg: Beteendeneuroendokrinologi

    Author : Saida Adan; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The most successful and widely used animal models in neuroscience are rats and mice, which has been vital for the understanding of the human brain. Another model that has become more prominent during recent years is the zebrafish (Danio rerio). READ MORE
