  1. 6. Acquired brain injury and evaluation of intensive training of attention in early neurorehabilitation : statistical evaluation and qualitative perspectives

    Författare :Gabriela Markovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Attention dysfunction is a cardinal symptom after an acquired brain injury (ABI) sometimes leading to life-long consequences that affect learning skills, daily functioning and social and emotional life. Attention may be successfully improved by structured training within rehabilitation programs, with the Attention Process Training (APT) as practice standard in the chronic stage after ABI. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Brain networks in time : deriving and quantifying dynamic functional connectivity

    Författare :William Hedley Thompson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Studying the brain’s structure and function as a network has provided insight about the brain’s activity in health and disease. Networks in the brain are often averaged over trials, frequency and time and this is called functional connectivity. This thesis aims to extend the analyses beyond these assumptions and simplifications. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Optical Monitoring of Cerebral Microcirculation

    Författare :Peter Rejmstad; Karin Wårdell; Göran Salerud; Neda Haj-Hosseini; Kerstin Ramser; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optical monitoring; cerebral microcirculation; diffuse reflectance spectroswcopy DRS ; laser Doppler flowmetry LDF ;

    Sammanfattning : The cerebral microcirculation consists of a complex network of small blood vessels that support nerve cells with oxygen and nutrition. The blood flow and oxygen delivery in the microcirculatory blood vessels are regulated through mechanisms which may be influenced or impaired by disease or brain damage resulting from conditions such as brain tumors, traumatic brain injury or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
