  1. 21. Do Nanoparticles Affect Neuronal Function? - Establishment of a Microelectrode-Based Assay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Markus Nylander; [2020]
    Keywords : Microelectrode array; gold nanoparticles; silver nanoparticles; immunocytochemistry; scanning electron microscopy; human neural progenitor cells; human induced pluripotent stem cells; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nanomaterials are used extensively in industry and daily life but comparatively little is known about the possible health effects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are two metal nanoparticles that have been intensively studied. READ MORE

  3. 22. Microstructural Brain Damage in Patients with SLE: An Analysis using Automated Segmentation of Nerve Tracts from Diffusion MRI

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Anna Wikström; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE, is a disease with a large variation of symptoms. Some patients have neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as cognitive dysfunction and epilepsy. The classification of patients into NPSLE, with neuropsychiatric symptoms, and non-NPSLE, without these symptoms, is uncertain. READ MORE

  4. 23. Cognitive Effects of Acute Exercise in Healthy Young Adults : A Meta-Analysis

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Mikrodataanalys

    Author : Oarisur Rahman; Shrikant Balakrishnan; [2020]
    Keywords : Acute Exercise; Cognitive Functions; Young Adults; Healthy; MetaAnalysis; Effect Size;

    Abstract : Although, it is well established that regular exercise has a positive effect on various domains of cognitive functions, effects of a single session (acute) exercise on cognitive functions of an young adult is under debate. While a numbers of research have found positive associations between acute exercise and cognitive performance, multiple research have found no effect of acute exercise on the cognitive functions.

  5. 24. Models for predicting efflux transport over the blood-brain barrier

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Marjaneh Janani; [2020]
    Keywords : efflux transport; brain; blood-brain-barrier; Verapamil; Risperidone; Prazosin;

    Abstract : Aim: The general aim of this research is development and evaluation of novel methods for predicting active transport over the human blood-brain-barrier (BBB), while this project specifically aims to i) review the literature and select suitable methods and substrates, ii) develop models for determining in vitro kinetic properties of selected compounds, analyze the in vitro data using the developed models and to use Maximum Transport Activity (MTA) approach (Karlgren et al., 2012), iii) perform Physiology Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling and compare to in vivo literature data.

  6. 25. Improving Classification of Auditory Attention using Optimized Multitapers and Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Ante Forsgren; [2020]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The cocktail-party problem relates to the challenge of separating a single sound source from a noisy and crowded background based on the listener’s attention. Earlier work has been done in order to use the relations between the sounds heard and the following brain response to develop a model that can accurately classify which sound an individual listener is listening to.
