  1. 1. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Georgina Chu; [2023]
    Keywords : cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

    Abstract : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.

  3. 2. What comes next? : Investigating the neural correlates of predictability during conversation with fMRI

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Johanna Sundström; [2023]
    Keywords : surprisal; neurolinguistics; fMRI; language processing; conversation; language comprehension; language production; surprisal; neurolingvistik; fMRI; språkprocessning; konversation; språkförståelse; språkproduktion;

    Abstract : The notion that prediction plays a role in language processing is getting less controversial, however research and discussion is ongoing as to the nature and extent of its involvement. Previous studies have mainly focused on prediction during comprehension in restricted paradigms. READ MORE

  4. 3. EVOKED PHASE COHERENCE AS A BIOMARKER FOR ADAPTIVE NEUROMODULATION IN RAT MODEL OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Love Zackrisson; [2023]
    Keywords : Adaptive; Closed Loop; Neuromodulation; Parkinson’s Disease; Rat model; 6-OHDA; ITC; Phase Coherence; Bayesian Model; Classifier; Spinal Cord Stimulation; Deep Brain Stimulation.; Adaptiv; Closed Loop; Neuromodulation; Parkinson’s Sjukdom; Råttmodell; 6-OHDA; ITC; Faskoherens; Bayesiansk Modell; Klassificerare; Ryggradsstimulering; Djup Hjärnstimulering.;

    Abstract : Neuromodulation, such as spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS), has been shown to modulate pathophysiological brain activity and provide symptomatic therapy for several neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s Disease. The effectiveness of this therapy could likely be further improved by neuromodulation that is adaptive, delivering stimulation more selectively, by monitoring a biomarker in recorded brain signals, which indicates the presence of a pathological state.

  5. 4. The space between us : A systematic review of the neural basis of interpersonal distance

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Rebecka Kosterdal; [2022]
    Keywords : Interpersonal distance; peripersonal space; personal space; fMRI; EEG;

    Abstract : Humans are social beings whose interaction with others constitutes an important part of our well-being. In these social interactions there are certain factors that are essential for us to feel comfortable. One of these factors is to keep a proper “breathing space”. READ MORE

  6. 5. TMS stimulus-response asymmetry in lower limbs : Difference in stimulated muscles between dominant and non-dominant leg

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Adna Pivac; [2022]
    Keywords : lower limbs; motor evoked potential; motor cortex; stimulus-response asymmetry; transcranial magnetic stimulation;

    Abstract : Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a 37-year-old non-invasive tool and can be used for diagnostic, therapeutics, and research purposes. In research, TMS is mostly used to stimulate the motor cortex, resulting in a neuroelectric excitatory response called a motor evoked potential (MEP). READ MORE
