1. Evolution and Pharmacology of Neuropeptide Y Receptors, Implications for vertebrate genome duplications
Sammanfattning : The Y receptors comprise a family of evolutionarily related receptors belonging to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Their natural ligands are in mammals neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). LÄS MER
2. Modeling of bursting mechanisms and coordination in a spinal central pattern generator
Sammanfattning : Mechanisms underlying lotal bursting as well as coordinationbetween different levels of a spinal CPG generating locomotionhave been investigated using computer simulations. A"primitive" jawless vertebrate, the lamprey, is used a.s aprototype model. LÄS MER
3. Computational modeling of the lamprey CPG : from subcellular to network level
Sammanfattning : Due to the staggering complexity of the nervous system, computer modelling is becoming one of the standard tools in the neuroscientist's toolkit. In this thesis, I use computer models on different levels of abstraction to compare hypotheses and seek un- derstanding about pattern-generating circuits (central pattern generators, or CPGs) in the lamprey spinal cord.

4. Vestibular control of body orientation in lamprey
Sammanfattning : Maintenance of body orientation (postural control) is a vital motor function of the brain. The general goal of this project was to understand the organization and operation of neuronal networks responsible for postural control. The lamprey (a lower vertebrate) was used as a model animal.
