  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. Transcranial magnetic stimulation induced blindsight : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Simon Redlund; Ellen Carlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Blindsight; TMS; transcranial magnetic stimulation; visual cortex; unconscious;

    Abstract : Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients suffering damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) perceive themselves as blind, but nonetheless seem to have some residual capacity to distinguish between visual stimuli better than chance. Blindsight can be divided into two subtypes: blindsight type I and blindsight type II. READ MORE

  4. 3. Measuring natural hemispheric asymmetry in the brain: quantifying the Yakovlevian torque phenomenon

    University essay from

    Author : Hannah Moeini; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; cerebral asymmetry; yakovlevian torque; petalia occipital bending;

    Abstract : Background: Just by a cursory examination, the two hemispheres of the human brain may appear as mirror images of one another. Yet, the left and right sides exhibit profound differences in anatomy. One of the most obvious expressions of hemispheric asymmetry is the counterclockwise rotation of the brain known as “Yakovlevian torque”. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessing the effect of Fusarium graminearum inoculation on the root structure of Swedish winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Fayez Altabbaa; [2022]
    Keywords : Fusarium graminearum; conidium suspension; hypha agar plug; root architecture traits; root cellar structure traits; shoot traits; genotypes;

    Abstract : Several diseases attack the wheat crop and reduce the yield, such as root disease, which causes a tremendous loss in wheat production. Root rot has a variety of causal agents, such as nematodes, viruses, and bacteria, but the most common pathogens causing wheat root rot are oomycetes and fungi. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
