6. Radiation-induced dysphagia in head and neck cancer - risk structures and methodological aspects
Sammanfattning : Background/Aims: Swallowing difficulties are common after radiation therapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC). The overall aim of this thesis was to address radiation-induced late dysphagia with regard to investigating anatomical risk structures related to the development of radiation-induced dysphagia, as well as methodological aspects in the evaluation of swallowing.

7. Anatomical studies of the dopamine system in the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland
Sammanfattning : The hypothalamus is a small, evolutionarily conserved brain region, necessary for our survival as individuals and as a species. It collects various sensory inputs, process them to maintain homeostasis and to overcome stressors, and generates outputs that affect the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system and somatomotor behaviors.

8. Hippocampal circuit dynamics in learning and value processing of sensory cues : A study into the function of hippocampal microcircuits involving OLMα2 cells
Sammanfattning : The anatomical signatures of the mnemonic/emotional processes share many brain structures, one of which seems to constitute a bridge, the hippocampus. It functions as a structure that consolidates engrams. It is connected to the prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens and amygdala, structures that provide emotional salience. LÄS MER
9. Neurocognitive modelling of human decision making
Sammanfattning : A central issue related to climate change and the path to a low carbon society is how we can change our attitudes and associated behavioral patterns. This type of decisions is concerned with how complex systems can be dealt with, conceptually, psychologically, as well as socially. LÄS MER
10. Organization of basal ganglia circuits
Sammanfattning : Anatomical regions and how we define boundaries between and within structures in the brain put a constraint on our understanding of the brain. More than a century of research on the brain has revealed its fundamental organization to be based on single nerve cells communicating through electrical signals over chemical synapses. LÄS MER
