1. Ontogenetic and comparative aspects of cerebellar and motor development
Sammanfattning : During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. LÄS MER
2. Aspects on luminal nitric oxide in relation to oesophageal acid exposure and mucosal integrity
Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) exerts important neuromuscular control of the oesophagus, but little is known about the sources and effects of the NO present in the distal oesophageal lumen. These questions were presently addressed in both human and animal experiments. LÄS MER
3. Cerebellar pathways and mechanisms in classical conditioning
Sammanfattning : It has been suggested that the cerebellar mossy fibre afferents transmit the conditioned stimulus (CS) information to the cerebellum. Several studies are consistent with this suggestion but alternative explanations have not been excluded. LÄS MER
4. Craniofacial morphology and growth in the ferret: effects from alteration of masticatory function
Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Our hypothesis is that any effects on craniofacial growth and morphology induced by altering the masticatory function will vary according to the species involved. The general aim of this thesis was to test the possible effects of altering the masticatory function on craniofacial growth and morphology, as well as features of masticatory muscles in ferrets.

5. Phosphatidylethanol - formation and degradation in blood and organs
Sammanfattning : Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is an abnormal phospholipid formed exclusively by the action of phospholipase D (PLD) in the presence of ethanol. The degradation of PEth is slow and due to its accumulation in some cells the possibility to use PEth as marker of ethanol intake has been proposed. LÄS MER
