  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Classification of healthy and Parkinson’s disease state mice using whisker movements

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Philip Tumwa; Sandra Möttus; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Modelling diseases in mice provides a useful way of studying the disease. The motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) can be studied by observing the whisker movements of mice with PD condition. Mice use their whiskers to gather information about their environment and guide their locomotion. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of Mouse Whisker Movement Synchronicity

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Johanna Elisabeth de Voogel; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In active sensing, sensory organs are actively controlled by the motor system to optimize stimuli acquisition. Coupling behaviour of animal models with electrophysiological signals could give us important insights in the workings of this active sensing in health and disease. In this work, a contribution is made towards this aim. READ MORE

  5. 4. Differences in Whisker Movement in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease & Healthy Mice

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

    Author : Hrafndís Brá Heimisdóttir; Jill Skärby; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Analysing differences in whisking movement between Parkinson’s Disease (PD) modeled mice and healthy control mice can help us to better understand active sensing and the sensorimotor system. In this thesis whisking data obtained from de Voogel’s (2020) master thesis was analysed with the goal to identify differences in whisking movement. READ MORE

  6. 5. Automated tracking and analysis of mouse whisker movements

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

    Author : Athira Athira; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Whisking behaviour, observed in animals like rodents and marsupials, have been of great interest to neuroscientists, as a model for the study of mechanisms behind active sensing. Most of the studies of the whisking behaviour utilize video recordings of the movement. READ MORE
