1. Production and Structural Dynamics of Microbial Rhodopsins
Sammanfattning : Rhodopsins are a family of membrane proteins that are found in a wide range of organisms and provide them with the ability to sense and react to light. When light is absorbed by these proteins, structural changes occur that initiate the pumping of protons, opening of a channel or signal transfer. LÄS MER
2. Optogenetic control of spinal microcircuits : insights into locomotor rhythm and pattern generation
Sammanfattning : Mammalian locomotion is a complex task in which hundreds of muscles work together in a coordinated fashion. Neural networks in the spinal cord, known as central pattern generators (CPGs), carry all the components necessary to produce the cyclical pattern of muscle activity needed for locomotion. LÄS MER
3. 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
4. Neuromodulation, Short-Term and Long-Term Plasticity in Corticothalamic and Hippocampal Neuronal Networks
Sammanfattning : Research in neuroscience relies to a large extent on the use of genetically modified animals. Extensive validation of new and existing models is a requirement for the acquisition of trustworthy data and to enable generalization to human physiology and disease. LÄS MER
