  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) 

  Hall, Petter (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 

  Lorenz, Emanuel Alexander (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 

  Grooms, Kayla Mae (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 

  Håheim, Oda Bjørnevik (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
