  1. 6. Brain Plasticity and Upper Limb Function After Stroke: Some Implications for Rehabilitation

    Författare :Påvel Lindberg; Jörgen Borg; Hans Forssberg; Margareta Engardt; Cornelius Weiller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Neurosciences; Stroke; Upper Limb; Brain Plasticity; Functional MRI; Diffusion Tensor Imaging; Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroimaging and neurophysiology techniques were used to study some aspects of cortical sensory and motor system reorganisation in patients in the chronic phase after stroke. Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging, we found that the degree of white matter integrity of the corticofugal tracts (CFT) was positively related to grip strength. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :Otorhinolaryngology; Brain plasticity; Controls; Dysphagia; Deglutition; Facial palsy; Lip force; Muscle training; Orofacial regulation; Reliability; Sensitivity; Specificity; Stroke; Swallowing capacity; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Sammanfattning : AimsThe aims of the thesis were to validate investigation instruments for stroke patients with dysphagia, and to improve oropharyngeal dysphagia therapies.Methods/ResultsA Lip Force Meter, LF 100, affirmed excellent intra- and inter-reliability, sensitivity and specificity.

  4. 8. Effects of neonatal handling and enriched environment on neurotrophins and cognitive function

    Författare :Therese M Pham; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Postnatal handling; Postnatal nonhandling; Enriched environment; Isolated environment; Neurotrophins; Behaviour; Rat;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental stimulation plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of behaviours and neural processes. Two experimental models that have guided research on behavioural and neural plasticity are Postnatal handling and Environmental enrichment. LÄS MER
