1. Neonatal Exposure to Anaesthesia and Adjuvants : Acute Effects on Cerebral Apoptosis and Neuroproteins, and Late Behavioural Aberrations in Mice
Sammanfattning : During a finite developmental phase – the brain growth spurt – the brain grows and matures at an accelerated rate. During this period the brain is more sensitive to harmful substances such as ethanol and environmental toxins than before or after. LÄS MER
2. Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation Induces Neurotoxicity in the Neonate : Acute or fractionated doses and interaction with xenobiotics in mice
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the developmental neurotoxic effects of exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation (IR), alone or together with xenobiotics, during a critical period of neonatal brain development in mice.During mammalian brain development there is a period called the brain growth spurt (BGS), which involves extensive growth and maturation of the brain.

3. Effects of S(+)-, R(-)- and racemic ketamine on the brain
Sammanfattning : Racemic ketamine, introduced in the mid-sixties, contains equal proportions of the enantiomersS(+)- and R(–)-ketamine. Early clinical reports indicated unfavourable effectson intracranial pressure (ICP) and on the cerebral circulation. Current literature on thistopic is however sparse, and available reports are divergent. LÄS MER
4. Low dose ketamine : analgesia and side-effects in patients and volunteers
Sammanfattning : There is a need for novel approaches in the pharmacological treatment of pain. In many pain states the present treatment options are insufficient. Altered processing in sensory pathways often underlies such intractable pain. LÄS MER
5. In vivo and in vitro studies of the serotonin 1B receptor in relation to major depressive disorder and treatment with ketamine
Sammanfattning : Despite the large implications of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) on disease burden worldwide, current treatment options are suboptimal and a third of patients suffering from this disease do not respond to treatment. Therefore, an unmet need exists for the development of new treatment options and methods to aid appropriate treatment selection in individual patients. LÄS MER
