1. The subthalamic nucleus in motor and affective functions : An optogenetic in vivo-investigation
Sammanfattning : The basal ganglia form a group of subcortical interconnected nuclei involved in motor, limbic and cognitive functions. According to the classical model of the basal ganglia, two main pathways exert opposing control over movement, one facilitating movement and the other suppressing movement. LÄS MER
2. Across Borders : A Histological and Physiological Study of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Reward and Movement
Sammanfattning : The basal ganglia are the key circuitry controlling movement and reward behavior. Both locomotion and reward-related behavior are also modified by dopaminergic input from the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). LÄS MER
3. Motion and Emotion : Functional In Vivo Analyses of the Mouse Basal Ganglia
Sammanfattning : A major challenge in the field of neuroscience is to link behavior with specific neuronal circuitries and cellular events. One way of facing this challenge is to identify unique cellular markers and thus have the ability to, through various mouse genetics tools, mimic, manipulate and control various aspects of neuronal activity to decipher their correlation to behavior.

4. Balance performance in people with Parkinson’s disease. Effects of subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
Sammanfattning : The overall aims of this work were to investigate if Deep Brain Stimulation in the subthalamic nuclei (STN) affected balance, fear of falling and falls in people with Parkinson's disease. The effect of STN stimulation alone was investigated in Papers I, II and III. LÄS MER
5. United in Diversity : A Physiological and Molecular Characterization of Subpopulations in the Basal Ganglia Circuitry
Sammanfattning : The Basal Ganglia consist of a number of different nuclei that form a diverse circuitry of GABAergic, dopaminergic and glutamatergic neurons. This complex network is further organized in subcircuits that govern limbic and motor functions in humans and other vertebrates. LÄS MER
