11. From social drinking to alcohol addiction : Decision making and its neural substrates along a spectrum from social drinking to alcohol addiction
Sammanfattning : For a minority of alcohol users, the initial sip of alcohol marks the start of a life-threatening process. This thesis studies cognitive mechanisms pertinent to alcohol addiction and its development, using a spectrum of individuals that range from healthy social drinkers, through people with hazardous use, to those suffering from alcohol addiction.

12. Longitudinal development of hand function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy and its relation to brain lesion and treatment
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe the development of hand function in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP), and to investigate its relation to brain lesion and treatment. Effective hand use is necessary for task performance and independence in everyday activities. LÄS MER
13. An Embodied Account of Action Prediction
Sammanfattning : Being able to generate predictions about what is going to happen next while observing other people’s actions plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Different theoretical explanations for the underlying processes of humans’ action prediction abilities have been suggested. LÄS MER
14. Studies on pathophysiology and effects of botulinumtoxin in focal dystonia
Sammanfattning : The pathophysiology of focal dystonia, such as cervical dystonia (CD) and writer's cramp (WR) is far from determined and the development of effective treatment is thus impeded. The dystonia in WR is often action-specific, and most dystonic patients experience an action-induced worsening of the symptoms. LÄS MER
15. From movement to skill : neural and behavioral mechanisms of motor sequence learning
Sammanfattning : How do we learn new movements? The simple answer to this question is Through practice! Yet, a better response might be What aspect of motor learning are we talking about? Our capacity for learning new skills and for combining movements into new sequences is virtually unlimited. In contrast, our understanding of the mechanisms behind motor skill learning is still rather sparse. LÄS MER
