1. The bladder and the brain : Studies on the pathogenesis and the treatment of nocturnal enuresis
Sammanfattning : Opinions differ as to whether nocturnal enuresis is caused by high arousal thresholds, nocturnal polyuria or nocturnal bladder instability. In spite of the currently available therapeutic options - the antidiuretic drug desmopressin and alarm treatment - approximately 25% of children suffering from enuresis cannot be successfully treated.

2. Noise improves cognitive performance in children with dysfunctional neurotransmission
Sammanfattning : Research on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has shown that they are extremely sensitive to distraction from external stimuli that lead to poor cognitive performance. This thesis shows that cognitive performance can be improved if this external stimulus is smooth and continuous (e.g. auditory white noise). LÄS MER
3. Sensorimotor function following anterior cruciate ligament injury : movement control, proprioception and neuropsychological perspectives
Sammanfattning : Background: The high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in sports suggests an involvement of both biomechanical and neurocognitive risk factors. Athletes are constantly exposed to challenging sports scenarios, which are often characterised by high-intensity movements combined with a multi-stimuli environment and continuous psychological pressure.

Sammanfattning : Amphetamine abuse and dependence are global health problems, affecting large numbers of individuals. Despite extensive research efforts, there has been no evidence-based pharmacotherapy available for amphetamine dependence. LÄS MER
5. Neurotensin and cortical arousal : an in vitro study
Sammanfattning : The information processing associated with wakefulness occurs during what is commonly referred to as a cortical desynchronized state. In contrast, deep sleep is accompanied by slow, synchronized electrical activity, perhaps best exemplified by the slow (... LÄS MER
