1. Traumatic brain injury in humans and animal models

2. Understanding inflammation requires neuroscience
Sammanfattning : Inflammation and its resolution are processes subject to neural regulation (1). The best-characterized immune-regulating reflex is the “inflammatory reflex”, in which the efferent branch of the vagus nerve plays a central role in regulating cytokine-release in the periphery.

3. “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?” : Abuse of potent benzodiazepines, exemplified by flunitrazepam, in mentally disordered male offenders
Sammanfattning : Flunitrazepam (FZ) is an example of a sedative-hypnotic benzodiazepine whose pharmacokinetic properties include a rapid onset of action and an intermediate duration of action. It has a high affinity to central benzodiazepine receptors and affects them profoundly. LÄS MER
4. Quantitative sensory testing, obstructive sleep apnea and peripheral nervous lesions
Sammanfattning : In diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies, quantitative sensory testing (QST) is used to assess thermal and vibration sensitivity. QST is a psychophysical method susceptible to the influence of several factors. It is important to standardize the test. Vibrations may cause peripheral nerve lesions. LÄS MER
5. Experimental and clinical perspective on stroke : evaluation by behavior, magnetic resonance imaging and morphology
Sammanfattning : In order to further improve the diagnostic power of the NEU technique in the use for clinical evaluation of brain lesions, like in stroke patients, a biological model system had to be implemented where the relevant aspects of the brain injury and its effects could be mimicked. Two well controlled and reproducible rat models were chosen, one developed by Bjelke et al. LÄS MER
