Developmental mechanisms of spontaneous and sensory evoked activity in the zebrafish habenula
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:306, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Utviklingsmekanismer for spontan- og sensorisk vekket aktivitet i habenula i sebrafisk For å kunne utføre fleksible endringer i vår atferd må vi kunne samle inn og evaluere informasjon som kommer fra både interne kilder ... -
Knowledge Across Reference Frames: Cognitive Maps and Image Spaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In human and non-human animals, conceptual knowledge is partially organized according to low-dimensional geometries that rely on brain structures and computations involved in spatial representations. Recently, two separate ... -
Allocentric vector coding in the medial entorhinal cortex
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:145, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Samandrag Evna til å dynamisk tolke og navigere omgivnaden er naudsynt for overleving og ligg til grunn for mange kognitive prosessar slik som episodisk minne. I pattedyr-hjernen finn ein spesialiserte nettverk i hippocampus ... -
Functional properties of habenular neurons are determined by developmental stage and sequential neurogenesis
(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 ... -
Behavior-dependent directional tuning in the human visual-navigation network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The brain derives cognitive maps from sensory experience that guide memory formation and behavior. Despite extensive efforts, it still remains unclear how the underlying population activity unfolds during spatial navigation ... -
Associations between the number of children, age at childbirths and prevalence of chronic low back pain: the Nord- Trøndelag Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Associations between childbirths and subsequent risk of low back pain (LBP) have not been clarified. Changes in sex hormone levels or lumbar posture during pregnancy may have an impact on LBP later in life. ... -
Zebrafish dorsal habenula is required for updating learned behaviors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Operant learning requires multiple cognitive processes, such as learning, prediction of potential outcomes, and decision-making. It is less clear how interactions of these processes lead to the behavioral adaptations that ... -
Development and topographic organization of subicular projections to lateral septum in the rat brain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)One of the main subcortical targets of hippocampal formation efferents is the lateral septum. Previous studies on the subicular projections, as a main output structure of the hippocampus, have shown a clear topographic ... -
Neural and behavioural correlates at the upper thermal limit in the zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Master thesis, 2020)Kristisk temperatur maksimum (KTmax), definert som temperaturen hvor bevegelse blir uorganisert og yteevnen går tapt, er ofte brukt til å estimere dyrearters øvre temperatur toleranse. På grunn av de pågående klima ... -
Development of an online cognitive monitoring system for detecting looming-related responses in the infant brain
(Master thesis, 2020)For vår overlevelse er det avgjørende å kunne reagere raskt på et objekt som kommer mot deg med høy hastighet, og utøver nødvendige manøvrer for å unngå en forestående kollisjon. Disse objektene refererer vi til som ... -
Impact of altered Alkyladenine DNA glycosylase expression on hippocampal cytoarchitecture
(Master thesis, 2020)DNA damage can be caused through exposure to both exogenous and endogenous agents. Through by-products of physiological cellular processes neurons are constantly exposed to agents that can induce DNA base lesions. Base ... -
Defensive Behaviors - Manipulations of the Habenula-Raphe System in Freely Behaving Juvenile Zebrafish
(Master thesis, 2020)I møte med fare er frykt nødvendig for å initiere «fight-or-flight»-repsonsen, og angst fungerer som en mekanisme for risikovurdering for å estimere nivået av trussel og riktig atferds-respons. Til sammen utgjør disse to ... -
The Role of Cilia on Zebrafish Olfaction & Behaviour
(Master thesis, 2020)The cilium is a ubiquitous organelle found across species on a wide range of cell types. It is a highly varied structure able to fulfill a plethora of functions; from motile cilia serving in cell motility and establishing ... -
Spatial representation of a virtual environment in a deep neural network
(Master thesis, 2020)De siste tiårene har forskere gjort store framskritt i å karakterisere det nevrobiologiske fundamentet for spatial kognisjon. Særskilt har nevrobiologiske funn ikke vært begrenset til aktiv utforskning av den fysiske ... -
Towards modeling of neuronal networks in HUWE1-induced XLID
(Master thesis, 2020)Intellektuell forstyrrelse (ID) er en utviklingsforstyrrelse karakterisert av manglende intellektuelle funksjoner og adaptive evner. Denne lidelsen rammer tilnærmet 2% av den vestlige populasjonen. X-koblet ID (XLID) er ... -
Sleep and Pain: An EEG study of how sleep affects pain perception
(Master thesis, 2020)Bakgrunn: Eksperimentelle studier har vist at søvnmangel er assosiert med endringer i smertepersepsjon. Flere hjerneavbildningsstudier trengs for å utvikle objektive nevrofysiologiske korrelater til smerte. Hensikt: Denne ... -
Stimulus-specific behavioral responses of zebrafish to a large range of odors exhibit individual variability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Odor-driven behaviors such as feeding, mating, and predator avoidance are crucial for animal survival. The neural pathways processing these behaviors have been well characterized in a number of species, and ... -
