  1. 1. On the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in motor control : analysis of synaptic, cellular and network properties

    Författare :Patrik Krieger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :calcium channels; lamprey; locomotion; metabotropic glutamate receptors; neuronal network; spinal cord; synaptic transmission;

    Sammanfattning : The organization of neurons into neuronal networks is a basic feature of the central nervous system. An understanding of the function of neuronal networks requires knowledge on both synaptic connectivity and cellular properties. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Behavioural and biochemical pharmacology of adenosine/dopamine receptor/receptor interaction

    Författare :Roberto Rimondini-Giorgini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adenosine; A; receptors; A2A receptors; dopamine; D1 receptors; D2 receptors; mGluR receptors; striatum; immediately early genes; c-fos; junB; NGFI-A; microdialysis; receptor binding; in situ hybridisation;

    Sammanfattning : The neurotransmitter dopamine seems to be involved in neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Direct blockade of dopamine receptors of the D2 subtype has been the hallmark of pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia since early 1950s. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies on astrocyte function : potential roles in brain water homeostasis and neuroprotection

    Författare :Yutong Song; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Astrocytes are essential in brain homeostasis and function, including maintenance of water and ion balance. Astrocytes express the water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4), implicated in both physiological functions and injury processes associated with brain edema, a common consequence of brain diseases. LÄS MER
