  1. 1. Neuronal Networks of Movement : Slc10a4 as a Modulator & Dmrt3 as a Gait-keeper

    Författare :Martin Larhammar; Klas Kullander; Leif Andersson; Åsa Wallén-Mackenzie; Robert Fyffe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synaptic vesicle transporter; Neuromodulation; Dopamine; Central Pattern Generator; Locomotion; Gait; Horse; Mouse; Commissural Inhibitory Interneuron; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Nerve cells are organized into complex networks that comprise the building blocks of our nervous system. Neurons communicate by transmitting messenger molecules released from synaptic vesicles. Alterations in neuronal circuitry and synaptic signaling contribute to a wide range of neurological conditions, often with consequences for movement. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Swimming with the current : Fictive locomotion reveals subtle phenotypes in the zebrafish locomotor network

    Författare :Harmen Kornelis Koning; Henrik Boije; David McLean; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dmrt3a; wt1a; spinal cord; Mauthner cell; neural development; locomotor network; zebrafish;

    Sammanfattning : Neural networks are the functional building blocks of the central nervous system. To better understand how these networks develop and operate, we turned to the zebrafish locomotor network, with a focus on subtypes of interneurons expressing dmrt3a and wt1a. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Neural mechanisms for the control of posture, locomotion and steering : a behavioral, electrophysiological and modeling study in lamprey

    Författare :Patriq Fagerstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :reticulospinal; vestibular system; spinal cord; central pattern generator; reciprocal inhibition; fictive locomotion; fictive turning; electron microscopy; computer simulation; lamprey; dorsal fin;

    Sammanfattning : When animals move around interacting with the environment, the nervous system has to solve several tasks simultaneously in order to produce and control the movements - notably propulsion, posture, balance, and associated movements. Basic motor tasks are controlled by neuronal networks organized into central pattern generators (CPGs) and reflexes, located in the spinal cord and brainstem. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Neuronal mechanisms of feedback postural control

    Författare :Li-Ju Hsu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :postural control; equilibrium; body configuration; reticulospinal neurons; stretch receptor neurons; galvanic vestibular stimulation; artificial feedback; locomotion; spinalization; rabbit; lamprey;

    Sammanfattning : Different species maintain a basic body posture due to the activity of the postural control system. An efficient control of the body orientation, as well as the body configuration, is important for standing and during locomotion. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation of cellular and locomotor network properties in the lamprey spinal cord

    Författare :Martin Wikström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :5-hydroxytryptamine; Dopamine; Calcium channels; Calcium-dependent potassium channels; Afterhyperpolarization; Membrane potential oscillation; Synaptic transmission; Modulation; Central pattern generator; Locomotion; Spinal cord; Lamprey;

    Sammanfattning : Motor activity is the basis for all behavior. It is therefore important to study the processes generating movement such as the neuronal networks in the spinal cord that generates and controls locomotion. The lamprey is used as a model system for the study of locomotion. LÄS MER
