1. Neural mechanisms for the control of posture, locomotion and steering : a behavioral, electrophysiological and modeling study in lamprey
Sammanfattning : When animals move around interacting with the environment, the nervous system has to solve several tasks simultaneously in order to produce and control the movements - notably propulsion, posture, balance, and associated movements. Basic motor tasks are controlled by neuronal networks organized into central pattern generators (CPGs) and reflexes, located in the spinal cord and brainstem. LÄS MER
2. Modeling of bursting mechanisms and coordination in a spinal central pattern generator
Sammanfattning : Mechanisms underlying lotal bursting as well as coordinationbetween different levels of a spinal CPG generating locomotionhave been investigated using computer simulations. A"primitive" jawless vertebrate, the lamprey, is used a.s aprototype model. LÄS MER
3. Rho-GTPases in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sammanfattning : The success of alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms is complicated by both heterogeneity of the disease and lack of predictive markers to guide treatment options. Deregulated Rho-GTPases, a family of hydrolase enzymes catalyzing guanosine triphospate (GTP) to guanosine diphospate (GDP), have a detrimental role in many diseases including RA. LÄS MER
4. Examining the prostate stroma and vasculature : importance and potential as targets for therapy
Sammanfattning : Background. Recent studies in cancer research have focused on the reciprocal interaction between cancer cells and their microenvironment. Tumour growth is angiogenesis dependent and the rate of angiogenesis correlates with a poor prognosis in many different cancers. LÄS MER
5. Locomotor pattern generation in the spinal cord : studies in adult lamprey and zebrafish
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of this thesis is to characterize the mechanisms involved in the generation of locomotor activity in the spinal cord. To this end, we initially used the lamprey spinal cord to determine the transmitter phenotype of commissural interneurons (CINs). LÄS MER
