  1. 11. The role of pain modulation in non-suicidal self-injury

    Författare :Jens Fust; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior tend to report feeling little or no pain when they self-injure. Moreover, in laboratory studies the NSSI population tends to demonstrate reduced sensitivity to painful stimuli. There is reason to believe that hypoalgesia could be a risk factor for developing and maintaining NSSI. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Subsystems of the basal ganglia and motor infrastructure

    Författare :Iman Kamali Sarvestani; Örjan Ekeberg; Jeanette Hällgren-Kotaleski; Christelle Baunez; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Basal Ganglia; Action Selection; Motor Learning; Tectum; Superior Colliculus; Mesencephalic Locomotor Region; Reticulospinal Neurons; Computational Models;

    Sammanfattning : The motor nervous system is one of the main systems of the body and is our principle means ofbehavior. Some of the most debilitating and wide spread disorders are motor systempathologies. In particular the basal ganglia are complex networks of the brain that control someaspects of movement in all vertebrates. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Respiratory influences on pupil size dynamics and visual recognition memory

    Författare :Martin Schaefer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Breathing, a fundamental rhythm of life, has traditionally been associated with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. However, recent research in both animal models and humans has unveiled additional roles of respiration in modulating cortical neuronal activity, influencing sensory, motor, emotional, and cognitive processes.

  5. 14. Human periodontal mechanoreceptors : functional properties and role in jaw motor control

    Författare :Skjalg E Johnsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontal mechanoreceptors signal information about tooth loads to the central nervous system and are considered to be important for the control of oral motor behaviors, like biting and chewing. Surprisingly, very little is known about the functional properties of periodontal mechanoreceptors at posterior teeth. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Idiopathic polyneuropathy : a pathogenetic study

    Författare :Kristin Samuelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Polyneuropathy (PNP) stands for dysfunction in the peripheral nerves. The classical clinical manifestations of PNP are distal, symmetric sensory symptoms, such as numbness and pain, as well as distal weakness in a sock- and glove pattern. For most patients with PNP, the progression rate is slow and the degree of impairment is limited. LÄS MER
