16. Measuring the tactile sense: Cortical mechanisms and clinical applications of tactile direction discrimination
Sammanfattning : Most of the studies aiming to investigate the human tactile sense are done on the glabrous skin. Still, there is a need for a quantitative method for evaluating nervous function of the hairy skin. LÄS MER
17. Structural and functional changes in the brain after surgically repaired median nerve injury
Sammanfattning : Despite the best available surgical repair, traumatic median nerve injury within the forearm typically causes lifelong impairment in hand function. This stems from an inadequate reinnervation of the nerves supporting sensory functions of the thumb, index and long finger, and of nerves supplying intrinsic hand muscles. LÄS MER
18. Beyond AMPA and NMDA: Slow synaptic mGlu/TRPC currents : Implications for dendritic integration
Sammanfattning : In order to understand how the brain functions, under normal as well as pathological conditions, it is important to study the mechanisms underlying information integration. Depending on the nature of an input arriving at a synapse, different strategies may be used by the neuron to integrate and respond to the input. LÄS MER
19. To select one hand while using both : neural mechanisms supporting flexible hand dominance in bimanual object manipulation
Sammanfattning : In daily activities, the brain regularly assigns different roles to the hands dependingon task and context. Yet, little is known about the underlying neural processes. Thiscertainly applies to how the brain, where each hemisphere primarily controls onehand, manages the between-hand coordination required in bimanual objectmanipulation. LÄS MER
20. 5-HT receptor-mediated modulation of glutamate transmission in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex and its relation to cognition and depression
Sammanfattning : Depression is a multifaceted disease which is marked by cognitive and emotional memory impairments. It is characterised by an imbalacement of serotonergic and glutamatergic system in brain areas such as hippocampus and prefontal cortex. LÄS MER
