1. 1. Dynamic synapses in neural information processing : Examining the influence of short-term synaptic plasticity on neural coding

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

   Author : Oscar Spolander; [2022]
   Keywords : Short-term synaptic plasticity; Neural codes; Action Potential; Neuron firing rate; Rate code; Kort synaptiskt plasticitet; Neurala koder; Nervimpuls; Impulsfrekvens för nervcell; Frekvenskod;

   Abstract : Short-term synaptic plasticity (STP) is a phenomenon that has been closely associated with how neurons communicate with each other. I study communication between neurons tied to synapses endowed with short-term plasticity (dynamic synapses). READ MORE

3. 2. Prionsjukdomar med fokus på likheter och skillnader mellan scrapie och nor98

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Keywords : scrapie; nor98; prionsjukdomar; nervcell; encefalopati;

   Abstract : Prionsjukdomar är en grupp neurodegenerativa sjukdomar som drabbar både djur och människor. Hos djur finns sjukdomar som bovin spongiform encefalopati (BSE), chronic wasting disease, scrapie och nor98. Sjukdomarna orsakar stor skada, bl.a. READ MORE

4. 3. Modelling conversion of adult skin cells to neurons

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Viktor Drugge; [2018]
   Keywords : Human adult fibroblast; Neuron; Neural conversion; Transdifferentiation; Direct reprogramming; Direct lineage conversion; Simulation; Regulatory gene network; Gene network topology; Gene circuit; Gene dynamics; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Scientists are now able to directly convert one somatic cell type into another using a procedure known as direct lineage reprogramming or transdifferentiation. In this procedure, transcription factors which are important for initiating a rewriting of the gene expressions are introduced in the cell. READ MORE

5. 4. The role of odor receptor protein Or22a in Drosophila melanogaster oviposition and the response spectra of chimeric receptor protein Or22a-b

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Lovisa Pettersson; [2018]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a well-studied olfactory system. A crucial part of the olfactory system is the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). One type of these OSNs, Ab3a, expresses the Odor receptors (ORs) Or22a and Or22b. READ MORE

6. 5. Neocortex information processing after stroke induction

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Anders Wahlbom; [2016]
   Keywords : Neocortex; Stroke; Information Processing; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : How the brain processes all the incoming information it receives is still an unanswered question, and many different theories about how it is done exist. This thesis expands on one of these theories which views the brain's information processing as a widely distributed network phenomena, which contradicts the currently most popular hierarchical theory consisting of areas dedicated to processing specific types of information in a hierarchical manner.
