1. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Studies in Anxiety Disorders
Sammanfattning : Anxiety disorders are very common and the primary feature is abnormal or inappropriate anxiety. Fear and anxiety is often mediated by the amygdala, a brain structure rich in substance P (SP) and neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. LÄS MER
2. 11C Molecular Imaging in Focal Epilepsy
Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is a common neurological disease affecting 6 million people in Europe. Early prevention and accurate diagnosis and treatment are of importance to obtain seizure freedom. In this thesis new applications of carbon-11-labelled tracers in PET and autoradiographic studies were explored in focal epilepsy. LÄS MER
3. Anabolic Androgenic Steroids : Effects on Neuropeptide Systems in the Rat Brain
Sammanfattning : Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) have been used in clinics for decades. The misuse of AAS has previously been attributed merely to sport athletes, taking AAS with intentions to increase muscle mass, enhance physical performance and to improve results in competitions. LÄS MER
4. Regulation of calcium flux by activating and inhibitory receptor crosstalk in NK cells
Sammanfattning : The birth of a new born child kicks off the immune system to be on call and to respond promptly to threats from the environment. Natural Killer cells, classified as a member of the innate lymphoid cell family, express various activating, inhibitory, adhesion and cytokine receptors as well as MHC class I molecules on their surfaces, by which they interact with surrounding cells and perform various immunological function.

5. On the neuropeptide mRNA expression following neuropsychopharmacological treatments
Sammanfattning : In addition to classical neurotransmitters, an increasing number of neuropeptides have been found in the brain. Although neuropeptides may play important roles especially in higher brain functions such as emotion, mood, memory, and learning, most focus has been directed upon classical neurotransmitters and their receptors.
