  1. 1. Optimisation of parallel k-d trees using heuristics for neuron touch detection task

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

    Author : Daniel Benedí García; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuroscience has benefited from neuronal network simulation and an important task in the simulation is finding points in space where two neurites approach each other so a synapse could be formed. The task of finding the touching points could be seen as similar to the ray collision in ray tracing in computer graphics. READ MORE

  3. 2. A study of Neural Circuitry in Microdeletion Syndrome

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : David Holmberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Signal Processing; Analytical Software; Large Data Set; Classification; Sorting; Neurotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. READ MORE

  4. 3. Study of neural correlates of attention in mice with spectro-spatio-temporal approaches

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Cantin Ortiz; [2018]
    Keywords : gamma; bursts; neuroscience; attention; mice; LFP; gamma bursts; local field potential; phase randomization; cognition; cognitive process; modulation; spike; neuron; prefrontal cortex; PFC; pre-frontal; tetrode; filtering; Hilbert transform; recordings; oscillation; gamma band;

    Abstract : While signatures of attention can be observed in widespread areas within and outside of cortex, the control of attention is thought to be regulated by higher cognitive brain areas, such as the prefrontal cortex. In their recent study on mice Kim et al. READ MORE

  5. 4. The modeling of drug-induced changes in ion channel kinetics and firing properties in fast-spiking interneurons: a computational study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alexander Cahlin; [2018]
    Keywords : Modeling; Hodgkin-Huxley; Nav1.1; VGSC; SCN1A; interneurons; AA43279; 3-amino-5- 4-methoxyphenyl thiophene-2-carboxamide; electrophysiology.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterization of the synaptic connectivity patterns of genetically defined neuron types in circuits that regulate dopamine and serotonin

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Alexandros Ikaros Pavlopoulos; [2014]
    Keywords : neuroscience; lateral habenula; optogenetics; neuronal populations; neurons; brain; dopamine; serotonin; dual viral system; retrograde viral tracing; globus pallidus; rabies virus; reward; basal ganglia;

    Abstract : The Lateral Habenula (LHb) have been implicated in both reward-seeking behavior and in depressive disorders due to its modulatory effects on dopamine rich areas. Excitatory projections from LHb target GABAergic interneurons of both ventral tegmental area (VTA) and rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg) and consequently provide strong inhibition on VTA‟s dopaminergic neurons.
