  1. 1. Plasticity of salamander skeletal muscle cells

    Författare :Paula Borg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Regeneration is unevenly spread throughout the animal kingdom. Some of the invertebrates have a very high regenerative capacity but the capacity to replace lost or damaged tissues in mammals is limited. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Molecular mechanisms of salamander limb regeneration

    Författare :Gonçalo M Brito; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Salamanders, like newts and axolotls, stand out among adult vertebrates for their outstanding capacity to regenerate whole body parts and restore complex structures upon injury. One of the best-known examples is their ability to fully regenerate a functional limb. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computer Simulation of the Neural Control of Locomotion in the Cat and the Salamander

    Författare :Nalin Harischandra; Örjan Ekeberg; Silvia Gruhn; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Locomotion; Computer simulation; Central pattern generator; System identification; Gait transition; Sensory feedback; Spiking neural networks;

    Sammanfattning : Locomotion is an integral part of a whole range of animal behaviours. The basic rhythm for locomotion in vertebrates has been shown to arise from local networks residing in the spinal cord and these networks are known as central pattern generators (CPG). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Dopamine : a versatile player in development, regeneration and disease

    Författare :Tiago Pinheiro; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The dopamine neurotransmitter is present in all multicellular organisms. In the brain, the dopaminergic system orchestrates reward-motivation pathways and is involved in the control of voluntary movements and endocrine hormone secretion. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Crossing the threshold : Visualization design and conceptual understanding of evolution

    Författare :Andreas C. Göransson; Lena Tibell; Konrad Schönborn; Anat Yarden; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Evolution; Natural selection; Visualization; Conceptual understanding; Conceptual change;

    Sammanfattning : The theory of evolution is considered the unifying theory of biology. An accurate understanding of evolution is vital both for the understanding of diverse topics in biology, but also for societal issues such as antibiotic resistance or biodiversity. LÄS MER
