16. On characterisation and diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration syndromes : with special reference to the progressive aphasias
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementing brain disease, with episodic memory impairment as a characteristic early feature. However, not all primary degenerative brain syndromes include prominent deficits in day-to-day memorizing. LÄS MER
17. A multidisciplinary system identification of the human precision grip
Sammanfattning : This thesis focus on the unique human ability to pick up and manipulate small objects using the precision grip, i.e., the fine grip between the index finger and the thumb. This ability is formed by the interplay between the complex biomechanical machinery of the hand and the neural networks within the central nervous system. LÄS MER
18. Cross-functional brain imaging of attention, memory, and executive functions : Unity and diversity of neurocognitive component processes
Sammanfattning : The central theme of the present thesis revolves around the exploration of similarities and differences in brain activity patterns invoked by the component processes underlying mnemonic, executive and attentional functions. The primary aim was to identify and functionally characterize commonly recruited brain regions in terms of shared component processes, which has been a largely neglected area of research in cognitive neuroscience.

19. Clinical differentiation between frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease : psychometric, behavioral, neuroimaging and neurophysiological information
Sammanfattning : Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) initially affects the anterior regions of the brain, and gradually spreads to other cerebral areas. Behavioral alterations are described as the hallmark of FTD, whereas cognition is mostly found to be relatively spared. LÄS MER
