1. Spinal Control of Locomotion : Developmental and Functional Aspects
Sammanfattning : Neuronal networks are the central functional units of the nervous system. Knowledge about the identity of participating neurons and the assembly of these during development is crucial for the understanding of CNS function. LÄS MER
2. Magnitude Processing in Developmental Dyscalculia : A Heterogeneous Learning Disability with Different Cognitive Profiles
Sammanfattning : Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a learning disability that is characterized by severe difficulties with acquiring age-appropriate mathematical skills that cannot be attributed to insufficient education, language skills, or motivation. The prevalence rate is estimated at 3-6%, meaning that a substantial portion of the population struggles to learn mathematics to such a large degree that it affects overall well-being and academic prospects.

3. Molecular mechanisms of nerve-tumor interactions : the intersection of cancer and neurodevelopment
Sammanfattning : A wide range of cancers throughout the body are characterized by high nerve density and invasion of cancer cells within the nerves, a process called perineural invasion (PNI). Work in the field has shown that blocking nerves in organs with tumors leads to improved disease outcomes suggesting that finding ways to block tumor nerves could lead to new treatment approaches.

4. Translational research of the quaking gene : Focusing on the conjunction between development and disease
Sammanfattning : Quaking (QKI) is an RNA binding protein involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Originally identified as the cause of hypomyelination in a mouse mutant, it has since been consistently implicated in a wide range of neurological diseases. LÄS MER
5. Spatial and temporal regulation of neural stem cells in the developing brain by PRDM16
Sammanfattning : The mammalian brain comprises a large number and diversity of neurons and non-neural cells. Most of these cell types derive from a single sheet of neuroepithelium (NE) that contains a limited pool of neural stem cells (NSCs). NSCs in the developing brain are under complex regulation to achieve maximum daughter cell type diversity. LÄS MER
