    Abstract : TBI stands for Traumatic Brain Injury and refers to damage to the brain resulting from an external physical force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Common causes of TBI include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and violence and has been linked to thousands of deaths and injuries in the US and the EU alike. READ MORE

  3. 2. What happens in the brain during adolescence? : A systematic review of gray and white matter changes during adolescence

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ema Milcendeau; Martina Hana; [2023]
    Keywords : Adolescence; brain development; longitudinal studies; gray and white matter changes; SIPN model; triadic model; synaptic pruning; myelination;

    Abstract : During adolescence, the brain undergoes significant reorganization due to myelination and synaptic pruning. These changes are associated with risk-taking behaviors and the development of social relationships. Recent advancements in adolescent brain development can potentially enhance strategies for preventing and treating mental health disorders. READ MORE

  4. 3. Transcriptional basis of Huntington’s Disease: Gene expression analysis indicate increased immune responses in the brain and mitochondrial dysfunction in adipose tissues of HD model mouse

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Intisar Salim; [2023]
    Keywords : Huntington’s Disease; mRNA-seq; tissue specific gene expression; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarker; Huntingtons sjukdom; mRNA-seq; vävnadsspecifik genexpression; cerebrospinalvätska; biomarkör;

    Abstract : Huntingtons sjukdom (HD) är ett neurodegenerativt tillstånd som orsakas av mutationer i huntingtin gen (Htt), och resulterar till upprepade glutamin (polyQ) i Htt-proteinet. Muterad Htt kan inte vika sig ordentligt och börjar därför aggregera i celler. READ MORE

  5. 4. Computational Analysis of Thalamocortical Communication of Auditory Information using Pairwise Spike Recordings

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

    Author : Xinxing Guo; [2022]
    Keywords : Thalamocortical; basal forebrain stimulation; Jensen-Shannon divergence; auditory system; coordination; Talokortisk; stimulering av bashjärnan; Jensen-Shannon divergens; hörselsystem; koordination;

    Abstract : Investigating the properties and mechanisms of coordination among neurons plays an important role in understanding how the brain encodes information and performs in thalamocortical processing in the auditory system. Whether the coordinated neuronal spikes in the auditory thalamus enhance the thalamocortical communications in the auditory cortex (AC) is the main concern in this project. READ MORE

  6. 5. Attending to the now : A systematic review of the neural correlates of trait mindfulness

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ellen Vesterlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Trait mindfulness; fMRI; MRI; wellbeing;

    Abstract : Trait mindfulness refers to the tendency of being mindful in everyday life. Individuals characterized with high trait mindfulness have reported high subjective wellbeing and are less prone to depression and stress. The aim with this systematic review was to investigate the neural correlates of trait mindfulness. READ MORE
