11. A molecular exploration of sensory responses in c. elegans
Sammanfattning : Sensation provides a pivotal ability, allowing animals to survive in complex environments. The cues sensed by animals are represented by external stimuli and internal signals. However, the mechanisms mediating sensations in molecular and cellular level are still not well-studied. In this thesis, by using free-living nematodes C. LÄS MER
12. Swimming with the current : Fictive locomotion reveals subtle phenotypes in the zebrafish locomotor network
Sammanfattning : Neural networks are the functional building blocks of the central nervous system. To better understand how these networks develop and operate, we turned to the zebrafish locomotor network, with a focus on subtypes of interneurons expressing dmrt3a and wt1a. LÄS MER
13. The Biological Importance of the Amino Acid Transporter SLC38A10 : Characterization of a Knockout Mouse
Sammanfattning : The biggest group of transporters, the solute carriers (SLCs), has more than 400 members, and about 30% of these are still orphan. In order to decipher their biological function and possible role in disease, there is a need for characterization of these. LÄS MER
14. Zonal organization of the mouse olfactory systems
Sammanfattning : Animals survey their environment for relevant odorous chemical compounds by means of the olfactory system. This system is in most vertebrates divided into a main and accessory olfactory system with two specialized neuroepithelia, the olfactory and the vomeronasal epithelium, respectively. LÄS MER
15. The role of leptin in zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Novel insights into appetite regulation and reproduction
Sammanfattning : The hormone leptin is a peripheral metabolic signal and an important regulator of energy balance. In mammals, leptin acts on the appetite centers in the hypothalamus, causing anorexigenic functions by inhibiting food intake. It is also considered as a link between the nutritional status and the endocrine reproductive axis. LÄS MER
