11. Using Optogenetics and Fictive Locomotion to Investigate the Effects of Inhibiting Renshaw Cells on Normal Locomotion in P3 Mice
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : The circuit of recurring inhibition between motor neurons and Renshaw cells in the spinal cord has been known for around 70 years, though no determined function has been outlined as of yet. Renshaw cells are thought to be part of the central pattern generator in the spinal cord establishing them as an important part of the animal’s locomotive properties. READ MORE

12. The antimicrobial effect of dermcidin investigated by computational electrophysiology molecular dynamics simulations
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för biokemi och biofysikAbstract : Eukaryotic organisms rely on several mechanisms to inhibit bacterial growth and infection, which mankind has sought to mimic to their specific and more targeted use. Due to the effect of adaptation by bacteria in response to new antibiotics, known as antibiotic resistance, there will be an ever-present need to develop new antibiotics to maintain their high efficiency.

13. In Vitro Platform for Basic Testing of Micro- and Nanoelectrodes Intended for Chronic Implantation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Microelectrodes today and nanoelectrodes tomorrow further studies in fields of science such as neurobiology and electrophysiology, and are already in use as neural prosthetics. When electronic devices are used in biomedicine, especially when needed for chronic implantation, their ongoing downscaling is largely motivated by two aspects: biocompatibility and specificity.

14. The effect of non-host plant volatiles on the reproductive behaviour of the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis
University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and SocietyAbstract : Spodoptera littoralis is a major pest of cotton in Egypt, causing serious economic losses. Egyptian farmers highly appreciate biological control of the pest as synthetic pesticides are very unsustainable. Phytophagous insects rely on plant volatiles to locate oviposition, feeding and, mating sites. We tested newly emerged S. READ MORE

15. Visual Stimulus Development : FlyFly - A user friendly interface for MatLaba nd the Psychophysics toolbox
University essay from Avdelningen för datorteknikAbstract : Flies use visual cues for a variety of tasks, such as maneuvering through the environment and finding potential mates. Hoverflies, in particular, have very developed eyes and use them to be able to hover mid air and perform fast, elegant movements. READ MORE
