1. EPHA4 and V2 interneurons in the mammalian locomotor network
Sammanfattning : Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neural networks that can execute halfautomated movements without supraspinal or sensory input. Hindlimb locomotion in mammals is dependent upon such a CPG which is located ventrally in the spinal cord lumbar enlargement. LÄS MER
2. Chromosome-specific adaptations of RNA stability and the roles of the roX RNAs in dosage compensation
Sammanfattning : Sex chromosomes evolved from an ancient pair of autosomes and the Y chromosome lost most of its genetic information in the process. This created two kinds of genomic imbalances: the first one between males (XY) and females (XX) and the second one between the sex chromosomes and the autosomes (X:AA). LÄS MER
3. A pathway for pleasant touch: linking peripheral receptors to central processing and hedonic experience
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the mechanisms underpinning pleasant touch, describes a pathway from peripheral nerve endings in the skin to the insular cortex, and relates these findings to the subjective hedonic experience of touch. In Paper I, the relationship between primary afferent encoding and perception of pleasantness was investigated by combining microneurography recordings from human mechanoreceptors with psychophysical measurements during soft brush stroking at 6 different velocities between 0.

4. Computational Studies of Cellulose-based Materials
Sammanfattning : Cellulose is a remarkable organic biopolymer and sustainable raw material existing in nature. Over the past several decades, the study of cellulose materials has attracted significant attention in chemistry, physics, biomedicine, and engineering fields. LÄS MER
5. Otherness and disease in Reunion : The politicisation of the 2005 to 2007 chikungunya epidemic
Sammanfattning : In this dissertation I investigate how decolonisation through inclusion instead of independence has affected processes of othering, and reactions to being othered. By othering I mean discursive colonial practices described by post-colonial theories, in which racial and cultural difference is produced as inferior vis-à-vis the “superior” West. LÄS MER
