  1. 16. Diversity of striatal interneurons : connectivity and functions

    Författare :Anna Tokarska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Multisensory integration of cortical and thalamic inputs by the striatal network, and its modulation by local acetylcholine and midbrain dopamine, are crucial components of movement control and striatal function. A flexible decision-making process, quick and smooth movement initiation, as well as proper habit-formation would not be possible without properly functioning striatal circuits. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Neural control of inflammation

    Författare :April S Caravaca; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pioneering research on neural control of inflammation has paved the way for new and exciting developments in the growing field of bioelectronic medicine. In the past couple of decades, pre-clinical research on the role of the vagus nerve in inflammation and immunity has brought electrical stimulation of select nerves into clinical trials for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.

  4. 18. lnvestigating intestinal smooth muscle dysfunction in the 6-OHDA rat model of Parkinson's disease

    Författare :Maria del Pilar Murillo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intestinal motility; smooth muscle; enteric nervous system; dopamine neurodegeneration;

    Sammanfattning : The neurodegenerative progression of the nigrostriatal pathway in Parkinson’s disease (PD) entails the appearance of motor and nonmotor symptoms. Nonmotor symptoms are common, having a negative impact on the quality of life of patients living with PD. LÄS MER

  5. 19. The galanin type 2 receptor: molecular biological, histochemical and electrophysiological studies

    Författare :Kang Zheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Galanin;

    Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, the aim was to probe the distribution and functions of galanin type 2 receptor (GalR2) in the rodent brain. In order to overcome the lack of a reliable antibody to localize GalR2 by immunohistochemistry, we generated a construct which expresses GalR2 tagged with enhanced GFP (EGFP). LÄS MER

  7. 20. On the Autonomic Control of Blood Flow and Secretion in Salivary Glands. Functional and morphological aspects on muscarinic receptor subtypes in different species

    Författare :Anders Ryberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Muscarinic receptor subtype; neuronal; non-neuronal; expression; secretion; blood flow; salivary gland; human; rat; sheep;

    Sammanfattning : Parasympathetic nervous activity is the principal stimulus for evoking fluid responses within salivary glands. Concomitantly to the onset of this response, the blood flow increases. LÄS MER
