1. Neurobiological Consequences of Social Conditions and Alcohol Exposure in Adolescent rats
Sammanfattning : Adolescence represents a time of extensive reorganisation and maturation of brain circuits involved in emotions, motivation and cognition and it is a period particular sensitive for external stimuli. External stimuli can be both socio-environmental factors and exposure to exogenous compounds such as drugs of abuse (e.g. alcohol). LÄS MER
2. Stress, Drugs and Neuroscience : Neurobiological Effects of Social Stressors and Drug Exposure in Young and Adolescent Rats
Sammanfattning : Experiences early in life or during adolescence modulate neuronal networks in the immature brain and consequently lay the foundation for future susceptibility or resilience towards psychiatric disorders. The objective in this thesis is to understand, in part, how the surrounding environment shapes the brain of a young individual. LÄS MER
3. Across Borders : A Histological and Physiological Study of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Reward and Movement
Sammanfattning : The basal ganglia are the key circuitry controlling movement and reward behavior. Both locomotion and reward-related behavior are also modified by dopaminergic input from the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). LÄS MER
4. Factors affecting alcohol self-administration : learning, environmental and genetic influences on behaviour
Sammanfattning : Alcoholism is a serious problem for society and is a very difficult disease to treat clinically. Often, the addict has periods of abstinence from alcohol followed by relapse to drinking and this cycle of use/non-use can repeat over many years. LÄS MER
5. Functional Analysis of the Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 in Specific Neuronal Circuits of the Brain
Sammanfattning : A key issue in neuroscience is to determine the connection between neuronal circuits and behaviour. In the adult brain, all neuronal circuits include a glutamatergic component. LÄS MER
