1. 6. Stepping, placing and headturning biases in newborn infants : A neurodevelopmental perspective

   Författare :Erik Domellöf; Louise Rönnqvist; Marian Jongmans; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : In the present thesis the stepping, placing and head turning responses in healthy humanfullterm newborns are investigated. The main focus is put on a study of these newbornresponses in relation to functional asymmetries, while at the same time exploring anddiscussing different factors that possibly can affect the outcome of such studies.

3. 7. Cortical plasticity in response to median nerve trauma

   Författare :Lotta Fornander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   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. 8. Genetic studies of congenital upper limb anomalies

   Författare :Tobias Laurell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the work reported in this thesis is to improve epidemiological and genetic knowledge of congenital upper limb anomalies (CULA). To accomplish the specific aims of each paper several different methods and approaches have been used such as register studies, array comparative genome hybridization, Sanger sequencing, exome sequencing and functional studies using Lacz enhancer assay, Zebrafish morpholinos and computational transcription factor binding site prediction.
