  1. 11. Cognitive function studied in animal models of schizophrenia

    Författare :Erik Pålsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; phencyclidine; nitric oxide; prepulse inhibition; latent; nitric oxide; prepulse inhibition; latent inhibition; habituation; NMDA receptor; rat; mouse; cognition; schizophrenia;

    Sammanfattning : Cognitive dysfunction is considered a core deficit of schizophrenia, which currently lacks effective pharmacological treatment. In order to identify novel and more effective drug treatments, translational experimental animal models of cognitive dysfunction are required. Schizophrenia-like symptoms can be induced in humans by phencyclidine (PCP). LÄS MER

  3. 12. Biological risk factors for crime : Adverse perinatal events and psychophysiology

    Författare :Sofi Oskarsson; Catherine Tuvblad; Henrik Larsson; Marianne Kristiansson; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Biological Risk Factors; Crime; Criminal Offender; Biological Criminology; Adverse Perinatal Events; Psychophysiology; Psychopathy;

    Sammanfattning : Biological risk factors for crime have been largely neglected within main-stream criminology. However, a large body of research has over the past few decades converged on the conclusion that it is important to consider biological risk factors for crime, as they may help to inform theory and etiology.

  4. 13. Muscle Responses of Car Occupants: Numerical Modeling and Volunteer Experiments under Pre-Crash Braking Conditions

    Författare :Jonas Östh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; feedback postural control; autonomous braking; electromyography; active muscle; anticipatory postural control; seat belt pre-tension; driver braking; human body model; finite element; occupant kinematics;

    Sammanfattning : Over 30 000 fatalities related to the road transport system are reported anually in Europe. Of these fatalities, the largest share is car occupants, even though significant improvements in vehicle safety have been achieved by the implementation of in-crash restraints and pre-crash driver support systems.

  5. 14. The role of estrogen receptors in the auditory system

    Författare :Konstantina Charitidi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Both laboratory and clinical studies have previously demonstrated estrogenic effects on auditory function. The overall scope of this study was to investigate the physiological and molecular involvement of estrogens and estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) in hearing physiology. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Cognition and social behaviour in schizophrenia: An animal model investigating the potential role of nitric oxide

    Författare :Caroline Wass; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :schizophrenia; cognition; memory; Morris water maze; social function; social interaction; phencyclidine; nitric oxide; L-NAME; rat;

    Sammanfattning : Cognitive deficits are the single strongest predictor of functional outcome in patients with schizophrenia. Furthermore, these deficits are not satisfactorily alleviated by available antipsychotic treatment. LÄS MER
