Morphological and physiological characterization of olfactory and multimodal neurons in the lateral horn of the Heliothinae moth
(Master thesis, 2016)Through several hundred millions of years, evolution has developed and moulded the chemical senses in animals across our planet, echoing the ever changing environment. In a windy and turbulent field of flowers, insects ... -
Morphological characterization of antennal-lobe projection neurons in the olfactory pathway of heliothine moths
(Master thesis, 2015)The olfactory sensory system is a phylogenetically old system highly important for both the survival and reproduction in most animals. Its organization and function shows striking similarities across phyla, making it ... -
Multisensory integration by audiovisual looming in infants : a longitudinal study with high density EEG
(Master thesis, 2015)Infants’ cortical electrical activity as a function of audiovisual looming perception was investigated using high-density electroencephalogram (EEG). Prospective control when responding to a looming object approaching on ... -
Neural and vascular development in a rat model for diseases of prematurity : the influence of intermittent hyperoxia-hypoxia and growth retardation on brain microstructure and retinal vasculature
(Master thesis, 2016)Preterm born infants are at high risk of periventricular leukomalacia, a distinct form of white matter damage, and retinopathy of prematurity, a disease affecting the retinal vasculature. Further, they often suffer from ... -
Parvalbumin positive basket terminals in layer II of the rat medial entorhinal cortex : postnatal development studied by immuno-electron microscopy
(Master thesis, 2016)Layer II (LII) of the adult medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is highly involved in making up animals’ sense of space, and the intrinsic wiring of this network is thought to underlie the very specific firing patterns of its ... -
Perception of simulated forward and backward motion from optic flow at two different speeds in infants using high-density EEG : a longitudinal study
(Master thesis, 2016)High-density electroencephalogram (EEG) was used in a longitudinal study in infants at 4-5 months and later at 9-10 months to study brain electrical activity as the participants were presented with simulated forward and ... -
Postnatal development of parvalbumin-immunoreactive cells in the medial entorhinal cortex of the rat : morphology, connectivity and ultrastructure
(Master thesis, 2016)Grid cells in layer II of the the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) generate metric spatial representations. Resent research indicates that the grid-cell firing pattern may emerge through recurrent connections with local ... -
Projections of calbindin expressing neurons in layer II of the entorhinal cortex
(Master thesis, 2015)The hippocampal formation and the parahippocampal region have been implicated in memory and spatial processes. In the parahippocampal region, the entorhinal cortex (EC) is considered to mediate input to and output from the ... -
Projections of the orbitofrontal cortex to the parietal cortex in the rat
(Master thesis, 2015)The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been shown to play a role in decision making and goal oriented behaviors. The parietal cortex has also been shown to contribute to goal oriented behaviors and movements. Though cell ... -
Projections of the posterior parietal cortex to the orbitofrontal cortex in the rat
(Master thesis, 2015)The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in the rat is a multimodal association area, implicated in spatial processing, decision-making, working memory and directed attention. PPC is commonly divided into a medial (mPPC), a ... -
Quantification of Spine Density in the Rat Default Mode Network
(Master thesis, 2015)Using 3D reconstruction of dendrite segments of Golgi-stained neurons in the rat brain, spine density was quantified in different cortical regions of the default mode network. Segments of basal dendrites in layer V pyramidal ... -
A review of combined functional neuroimaging and motion capture for motor rehabilitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Technological advancements in functional neuroimaging and motion capture have led to the development of novel methods that facilitate the diagnosis and rehabilitation of motor deficits. These advancements allow ... -
Shift work and pain : a quantitative EEG investigation into the effects of shift work and nocebo on pain perception
(Master thesis, 2016)Introduction: Shift work is associated with increased prevalence of pain and shift workers commonly report reduced sleep, which is related to increased pain sensitivity. Thus, night shift work (NSW) may potentially lead ... -
Tau analysis of arm movements in early infancy as a detection method for cerebral palsy
(Master thesis, 2015)Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability seen in children. Physicians agree that early detection and intervention for affected children is desirable, yet current diagnostic measures rely heavily upon a child’s ... -
The Effects of Speed and Acceleration on the Theta and Delta Band Oscillations in the Hippocampus and Medial Entorhinal Cortex
(Master thesis, 2012)The theta band oscillation in the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex carries a strong correlation with free movement throughout an environment. Recently several models of these oscillations and their relationship to ... -
The involvement of the anterior cingulate cortex in safety and danger coding and in cognitive control
(Master thesis, 2016)Imagine yourself on a walk in the park. At every moment of time you get bombarded with information; children laughing, dogs barking, birds singing, wind stroking your skin, the smell of grass and green leafs, not to mention ... -
The sensory role of motile cilia
(Master thesis, 2016)The structure of all cilia is remarkably well conserved from single-celled organisms to mammals, and they have well-established roles as motile and sensory organelles in various species. The propulsive motility of beating ...
