(2021-11-11)
Word-finding difficulties, or anomia, are a common symptom in various conditions affecting the brain, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim of this thesis is twofold: (i) to increase ...
Atrial fibrillation in aging; methodological aspects and the relation to dementia and cerebral vascular disease
(2022-01-12)
Emerging evidence suggest an increased risk of dementia in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, until recently, few studies have investigated the relation between AF and dementia taking both prevalent and ...
The role of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in inflammation and brain injury
(2022-01-13)
The alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChR) are expressed in the nervous system as well as on peripheral immune cells where it participates in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Inflammation is a common ...
Virtual reality based kinematics for assessment of post-stroke upper limb function
(2020-04-28)
The main scope of this thesis was to develop a method for assessing the upper limb sensorimotor function following stroke using virtual reality-based technique. The studies reported in this thesis included 67 individuals ...
Acquired Epilepsy with a Focus on Stroke: Treatment and Prognosis
(2022-02-23)
