1. 6. Understanding the Activation Mechanism of the D2 Dopamine Receptor Modulated by Dopamine and Adrenaline via Machine Learning

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Astrid Frykman; Sophia Bröte; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The dopamine receptor is one of the main therapeutic targets for neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Although dopamine and adrenaline are structurally similar and both bind to the D2 dopamine receptor, they activate the receptor differently. READ MORE

3. 7. Neural Correlates of Parkinson’s Disease Motor Symptoms : A pipeline for exploration of correlation between neural and kinematic data

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

   Author : Evelyn Steinbrück; [2022]
   Keywords : Parkinson’s Disease; neural modulation; neurodegenerative disorders; DBS; DCS; closed-loop neural stimulation;

   Abstract : Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, within this categoryof diseases it is among the most prevalent worldwide. The etiology of PD isbased in progressive deterioration of neural tissue in the basal ganglia (neuronalnuclei located at the base of the cerebrum) and their related structures. READ MORE

4. 8. One last time: A systematic review comparing gambling and opioid addiction in the brain

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Linnea Nyström; [2022]
   Keywords : opioids; gambling; decision-making; neural correlates;

   Abstract : Gambling disorder is today a common disorder causing lives to shatter. As this disorder activates the reward system and increases the need of dopamine, recovering from gamling disorder can be hard. Research has shown that gambling addiction appears to have similarities to substance abuse, but no substance has been named. READ MORE

5. 9. Feature extraction with self-supervised learning on eye-tracking data from Parkinson’s patients and healthy individuals

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

   Author : Leo Bergman; [2022]
   Keywords : Eye-tracking; Representation learning; Self-supervised learning; Parkinson’s disease; Feature extraction; Clustering analysis; Ögonspårning; Särdragsextraktion; Parkinsonssjukdom; Representationsinlärning; Maskininlärning; Klustring;

   Abstract : Eye-tracking is a method for monitoring and measuring eye movements. The technology has had a significant impact so far and new application areas are emerging. Today, the technology is used in the gaming industry, health industry, self-driving cars, and not least in medicine. READ MORE

6. 10. 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
