  1. 6. Deciphering the Locomotor Network : The Role of Spinal Cord Interneurons

    Författare :Sharn Perry; Klas Kullander; Kimberly Dougherty; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Locomotion; central pattern generator; mouse; gait; recurrent inhibition; Renshaw cell; Dmrt3; Chrna2; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : In the spinal cord, an intricate neural network generates and coordinates the patterning of limb movements during locomotion. This network, known as the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG), comprises of various cell populations that together orchestrate the output of motor neurons. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Diversity of striatal interneurons : connectivity and functions

    Författare :Anna Tokarska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Multisensory integration of cortical and thalamic inputs by the striatal network, and its modulation by local acetylcholine and midbrain dopamine, are crucial components of movement control and striatal function. A flexible decision-making process, quick and smooth movement initiation, as well as proper habit-formation would not be possible without properly functioning striatal circuits. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Electrophysiological and molecular diversity of forebrain interneurons

    Författare :Carolina Bengtsson Gonzales; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Despite their low abundance, telencephalic interneurons demonstrate a great amount of molecular and electrophysiological heterogeneity, suggesting that they exhibit different functions within the circuit. Interneurons are commonly classified into distinct cell types based on their morphology, intrinsic electrophysiological properties, connectivity or molecular profile. LÄS MER

  5. 9. EPHA4 and V2 interneurons in the mammalian locomotor network

    Författare :Line Lundfald; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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

  7. 10. Targeting and driving somatosensory neurons

    Författare :Fabio Freitag; Malin C. Lagerström; Andrew Todd; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pain; Itch; GRPR interneurons; dorsal horn; trigeminal nucleus caudalis; Barrel field;

    Sammanfattning : Pain and itch are two distinct sensations, but the fundamental question of how our nervous system distinguishes the processing and encoding of their related information is still far to be clearly delineated. At the spinal cord level, evidences have pointed out specific groups of neurons expressing the gastrin releasing peptide (Grp) and its receptor (Grpr) as responsible for carrying specifically itch-related information.
