1. fMRI for mapping the plastic somatotopy of primary somatosensory cortex - Development and clinical applications
Sammanfattning : Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a widely used tool for studying brain function in vivo. The technique is based on acquiring brain images sensitive to the physiological response following neural activation, and hence, allows brain activity to be examined and documented. LÄS MER
2. Propofol changes the cytoskeletal function in neurons : An experimental study in cortical cultures
Sammanfattning : Every day, general anaesthetics are given to a large number of patients around the world but the cellular mechanisms of how anaesthetics act are still not clear. General anaesthetics cause the intended unconsciousness, amnesia and immobility in patients, but also side effects such as a decrease in mean arterial pressure and arrhythmia, both of which contribute to complications such as heart damage and stroke.

3. Cortical plasticity in response to median nerve trauma
Sammanfattning : Median nerve injuries in adults, repaired with nerve suture, lead to incomplete functional recovery despite improved surgical technique. This results in a reduction in quality of life, poorer working ability and a considerable expense for society. Misrouting of axons at the suture site connects regenerating axons to the wrong distal end organs. LÄS MER
4. Median and Ulnar Nerve Injuries in Children and Adolescents- Long-term outcome and Cerebral reorganisation
Sammanfattning : A peripheral nerve injury may lead to serious disability and influence the individual´s quality of life. It is considered that children can regain better sensory and motor function after a peripheral nerve injury, but the exact mechanism behind such superior recovery is not known. LÄS MER
5. Genomic clues to secondary injury mechanisms in brain trauma
Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogenous disease that can lead to persistent disability or death. The immediate mechanical disruption of brain tissue is followed by a phase of secondary brain injury. During this phase TBI challenges clinical interventions due to its complexity. LÄS MER
