  1. 1. Mind your Language, All Right? Performance-dependent neural patterns of language

    Författare :Helene van Ettinger-Veenstra; Maria Engström; Peter Lundberg; Thomas Karlsson; Anita McAllister; Karsten Specht; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Language ability; performance; fMRI; functional magnetic resonance imaging; Broca; Wernicke; temporal lobe; inferior frontal gyrus; reading; fluency; lateralization; lateralisation; right hemisphere; performance-dependent; neural activation;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this dissertation was to investigate the difference in neural language patternsrelated to language ability in healthy adults. The focus lies on unraveling the contributions of theright‐hemispheric homologues to Broca’s area in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and Wernicke’s areain the posterior temporal and inferior parietal lobes.

  3. 2. Concreteness, Specificity and Emotional Content in Swedish Nouns : Neurocognitive Studies of Word Meaning

    Författare :Frida Blomberg; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; abstract; concrete; nouns; semantics; specificity; emotion; imageability; anomia; word ratings; EEG; ERP; N400; N700; dichotic listening; hemispheric lateralisation; lexical decision; Swedish; neurolinguistics; Lingvistik;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis investigated Swedish nouns differing in concreteness, specificity and emotional content using linguistic, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic methods. The focus of Paper I was a semantic analysis of discourse produced by a person with a lesion in visual (left occipital) cortex. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Functional and diagnostic aspects on adrenocortical adenoma

    Författare :Ulla Enberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Adrenocortical tumours are frequently detected due to increased use of imaging techniques like computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound. The majority of the patients have tumours that do not have any overproduction of hormone. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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

  7. 5. A longitudinal study of cognitive changes after surgical treatment for epilepsy

    Författare :Elisabeth Engman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Epilepsy surgery; general neurocognitive status; memory; group change; individual heterogeneity;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy surgery is a valuable therapeutic option for some patients with pharmaco-resistant partial epilepsy, but resection of cortical tissue carries a risk of creating or worsening a dysfunction. Therefore pre-and postoperative levels of cognitive function are systematically monitored in epilepsy surgery programs. LÄS MER
