1. 1. Brain galanin sytems and their role in depression-like behaviour

   Författare :Eugenia Kuteeva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :5-HT1A receptor; depression-like behaviour; forced swim test; galanin; galanin-overexpressing; galanin receptor; noradrenaline; serotonin; transgenic mouse;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the role of the neuropeptide galanin and galanin receptor subtypes in behavioural functions with a particular focus on depression-like behaviour. In agreement with its wide distribution in the central nervous system, galanin has been implicated in various functions, including regulation of reproduction, endocrine functions, antinociception, attention, learning and memory as well as regulation of mood.

3. 2. Role of Neuropeptides and Neurotrophic Factors in Seizure Modulation

   Författare :Avtandil Nanobashvili; Lund Neurologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; brain slice; entorhinal cortex; hippocampus; galanin; glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor; neuropeptide Y; epilepsy; kindling; Neurology; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; Neurologi;

   Sammanfattning : The presented thesis explores role of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor family receptor a2 (GFRa2), as well as neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin and their receptors in modulation of seizure activity. We demonstrate that mice lacking the GFRa2 gene (GFRa2-/-) exhibit suppressed seizure generalization in traditional and rapid kindling models. LÄS MER
