Characterization of the Somatostatin cell population in the medial entorhinal cortex of the mouse
(Master thesis, 2016)The medial entorhinal cortex receives converging input from the hippocampal formation, the parahippocampal region and multiple neocortical and subcortical regions. Since the discovery of spatially modulated cells, the ... -
Choice of technique in classical roller-skiing - The influence of speed, incline and work rate, and relationship between power and technique choice
(Master thesis, 2019)Formål: Klassisk langrenn består hovedsakelig av tre ulike delteknikker, staking (ST), staking med fraspark (STF) og diagonalgang (DIA), og anvendes basert på faktorer som hastighet og terreng. Hovedformålet med denne ... -
Chronic hip and knee pain in parents and theiradult offspring: family linkage data from the HUNT study
(Master thesis, 2014)Background: Pain is a complex subjective sensation and is considered to be a huge global health concern. Several studies have suggested pain and chronic pain to cluster within families, but these studies have mainly focused ... -
Closing the loop: Development and topography in subicular-to-parahippocampal projections
(Master thesis, 2012)The hippocampal formation (HF) and the parahippocampal region (PHR) are two stronglyand reciprocally connected components of the hippocampal memory system. While theentorhinal cortex provides the main input from PHR to HF, ... -
Cognition and Bimanual Performance in Children with Spastic Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A population – based study
(Master thesis, 2020)Background: Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) may experience difficulties in performing daily activities, due to reduced bimanual performance and cognitive impairments. Both reduced bimanual performance and ... -
Cognitive control based decision-making correlates with c-Fos activation in the anterior cingulate cortex
(Master thesis, 2016)Flexibility in decision-making is usually linked to cognitive control. This is believed to be an essential element required for economically adaptive behaviors in an everchanging environment. With a flexible decision making ... -
Cognitive Impairment after Acquired Brain Injury: Experiences with Daily Life Activities and Occupational Therapy Assessment and Intervention
(Master thesis, 2023)Sammendrag Bakgrunn: I de kommende årene vil verden oppleve et demografisk skifte mot en eldre befolkning. Det er forventet en økning tilfeller av ervervede hjerneskader som hjerneslag og traumatisk hjerneskade. Forskning ... -
Comparing web-based neuropsychological tests of verbal and spatial memory with standardized pen and paper versions
(Master thesis, 2013)In this study we studied if novel Internet versions of a verbal and a visuo-spatial test were comparable with the standard (i.e. pen and paper) versions of the test. On each of these two types of tests we wanted to see if ... -
Comparison of contemporary intensity distribution approach and increased amount of high- or low intensity when progressing training load in the preparation period of cross-country skiers.
(Master thesis, 2021)Background. Successful endurance athletes train a relatively large volume at low intensity endurance training, which is interspersed by relatively low volumes of high intensity training. There is, however, strong indications ... -
Comparison of muscle mitochondrial capacity between young and elderly subjects using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
(Master thesis, 2022)INTRODUCTION: Aging brings many changes in the body and a drop in skeletal muscle oxidative capacity is among them. Skeletal muscle oxidative capacity or mitochondrial capacity can be investigated non-invasively with the ... -
Comparison of physiological and perceptual responses to single-player and multiplayer exergaming
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: Games have been used in different contexts in form of gamification and serious games. Exergames (videogames applied to exercise) are presented as a useful tool to induce adequate levels of physical activity to ... -
Comparison of test-retest reliability of peak oxygen uptake during different upper-body poling protocols
(Master thesis, 2016)Background and purpose: Upper body poling is a sport-specific exercise mode for several Paralympic sports such as Nordic sit ski and ice sledge hockey. However, there is a lack of reliable and standardized tests to evaluate ... -
Competitiveness, Sensation Seeking and Androgen Hormones Among Female Athletes
(Master thesis, 2014)Background: Previous research has suggested that there may be an association between levels of androgen hormones among female athletes, scores on competitiveness and sensation seeking (SS) and athletic performance. The aim ... -
Core strength and throwing velocity in handball
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: High throwing velocity is essential for scoring goals in handball. Factors influencing throwing velocity are anthropometric characteristics of the player, throwing technique and strength. The core seems to be ... -
Dancers with intellectual disabilities - Experiences from participating in mixed-ability dance groups.
(Master thesis, 2021)Mål: Målet med denne studien var å få kunnskap om opplevde fordeler og utfordringer for personer med utviklingshemming som deltok i ulikkroppede dansegrupper (mixed-ability dance groups/MADGs) sammen med funksjonsfriske. ... -
Daytime stress, shoulder/neck-pain, and the relation to nocturnal heart rate variability
(Master thesis, 2011)Stress and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) may affect the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Earlier studies have revealed that subjects with MSP show reduced heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep indicating an ... -
Dendritic spine density in the default mode network : a postmortem morphometric pilot study of schizophrenia
(Master thesis, 2016)Neuroimaging studies have found decreased activity and functional connectivity within and between brain regions in subjects with schizophrenia. These findings correlate with a decline in dendritic spine density in the ... -
Descriptive study of complex activity in youth
(Master thesis, 2018)In the recent years, accelerometers has become the most common way to assess physical activity, and serval activity type classification models have been developed based on accelerometry. These models aim to determine ... -
Detection of physical activity types with accelerometers in adolescents during semi-structured free-living
(Master thesis, 2016)Background Few algorithms are available for detection and classification of physical activity (PA) types in adolescents, and existing algorithms are only validated in controlled laboratory settings. The performance of such ... -
