• Developing real-time tracking software and setup for studying active avoidance conditioning in zebrafish 

      Palumbo, Fabrizio (Master thesis, 2016)
      The cognitive capabilities of fish have historically been underestimated and, in many respects, they are comparable to birds and mammals. Currently, an increasing number of behavioural neuroscience laboratories have started ...
    • Epilepsy as a Network Disorder From Zebrafish to Humans 

      Myren-Svelstad, Sverre (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:217, Doctoral thesis, 2022)
    • Functional properties of habenular neurons are determined by developmental stage and sequential neurogenesis 

      Fore, Stephanie Liesbeth; Acuna Hinrichsen, Francisca Daniela; Mutlu, Aytac Kadir; Bartoszek-Kandler, Ewelina Magdalena; Serneels, Bram; Faturos, Nicholas Guy; Chau, Khac Thanh Phong; Cosacak, Mehmet Ilyas; Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Palumbo, Fabrizio; Ringers, Christa; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie; Kizil, Caghan; Yaksi, Emre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The developing brain undergoes drastic alterations. Here, we investigated developmental changes in the habenula, a brain region that mediates behavioral flexibility during learning, social interactions, and aversive ...
    • Glia-neuron interactions underlie state transitions to generalized seizures 

      Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Myren-Svelstad, Sverre; Aydin, Ecem; Van Hoeymissen, Evelien; Deneubourg, Celine; Vanderhaeghe, Silke; Vancraeynest, Julie; Pelgrims, Robbrecht; Casacak, Mehmet Ilyas; Muto, Akira; Kawakami, Koichi; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie; Yaksi, Emre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Brain activity and connectivity alter drastically during epileptic seizures. The brain networks shift from a balanced resting state to a hyperactive and hypersynchronous state. It is, however, less clear which mechanisms ...
    • Loss of glutamate transporter eaat2a leads to aberrant neuronal excitability, recurrent epileptic seizures, and basal hypoactivity 

      Hotz, Adriana L.; Jamali, Ahmed; Rieser, Nicolas N.; Niklaus, Stephanie; Aydin, Ecem; Myren-Svelstad, Sverre; Lalla, Laetitia Noelle Patricia; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie; Yaksi, Emre; Neuhauss, Stephan C.F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Astroglial excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2, GLT-1, and SLC1A2) regulates the duration and extent of neuronal excitation by removing glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Hence, an impairment in EAAT2 function could ...
