  1. 1. Central vestibular compensation : the role of the GABAB receptor

    Författare :Anna Magnusson; Ulrich Büttner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The remarkable capacity for adaptive plastic changes in response to changed internal or external conditions is a distinctive feature of the vestibular system. Even in adults the system can be modified throughout life due to altered conditions caused by disease. trauma, medical treatment or normal ageing. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Auditory and Olfactory Abilities in Blind and Sighted Individuals : More Similarities than Differences

    Författare :Stina Cornell Kärnekull; Maria Larsson; Mats E Nilsson; Johan Willander; Fredrik U Jönsson; Johannes Frasnelli; Stockholms universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Blind individuals face various challenges in everyday life because of the lack of visual input. However, since they need to rely on the non-visual senses for everyday tasks, for instance, when navigating the environment, the question has been raised as to whether perceptual and cognitive abilities in these senses may be enhanced.

  4. 3. The subjective visual horizontal in the diagnosis of vestibular disorders : physiological and clinical considerations

    Författare :Arne Tribukait; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Vestibular system; vestibular tests; vestibular neuritis; Meniere sdisease; gentamicin treatment; vestibular compensation; stapedotomy; spatial orientation; gravity otoliths; utricle; saccule; semicircular canals; subjective visual horizontal; roll;

    Sammanfattning : In the examination of patients with vestibular disturbances the diagnostic techniques are almost entirely focused on the semicircular canals. However, a considerable number of the patients have symptoms which are suggestive of an affection of the otolith organs, e.g. false sensations of tilt or linear motion and even sudden falls. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Physiological roles of amyloid precursor protein in vivo - zebrafish as a model

    Författare :Jasmine Chebli; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) is an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein expressed in many different tissues. APP belongs to a gene family consisting of two other APP-like proteins (APLP1 and APLP2). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Charcot-Marie-tooth disease : muscle morphological and neurophysiological aspects

    Författare :UllaBritt Ericson-Gripenstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system characterised by distal weakness and muscular atrophy, sensory disturbance of the distal limbs, diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes and often pes cavus. CMT is divided into two major groups based on clinical and electrophysiological findings. LÄS MER
