El cànnabis i l’èxtasi són dues drogues d’ús recreatiu, les quals usualment es solen consumir de forma conjunta. Degut al seu ús combinat, resulta difícil esclarir les conseqüències que té cada droga a nivell neurobiològic. ...
El aprendizaje visuomotor condicional es un paradigma en el que las asociaciones estímulo-respuesta se aprenden a través de una recompensa. Un experimento típico se desarrolla de la siguiente forma: cuando se presenta un ...
Decision confidence offers a window on introspection and onto the evaluation mechanisms associated with decision-making. Nonetheless we do not have yet a thorough understanding of its neurophysiological and computational ...
The recently discovered decapeptide kisspeptin and its G-protein coupled receptor form a signaling system expressed ubiquitously and are implicated in a variety of still poorly characterized functions. In the brain, ...
To date, there are scarce data on bowel dysfunction (BD) in patients after brain injury (BI). Until now, only fecal incontinence (FI) has received attention and it has been mainly associated to patients’ age or performance ...
Skeletal muscle exhibits remarkable adaptability in response to physiological and pathological stimuli. This study explores the plasticity of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a neural–muscle interface that is crucial for ...
This Thesis aims at addressing the therapeutic potential of a neuroplasticity-targeted treatment for intellectual disability (ID) in Down syndrome (DS). The therapy consisted of the administration of the green tea catechin ...
In this thesis, we have developed a hypoxia-ischemia (HI) model in adult mice to study the neuroprotective mechanisms of CB2 cannabinoid receptors (CB2R), and the potential therapeutic effects of the new PPAR-α agonist, ...
Williams-Beuren syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a heterozygous deletion of 26-28 genes in 7q11.23. Despite the great advances on the knowledge of the clinical phenotype and the molecular causes of the ...
La tesis doctoral que se presenta examina el mecanismo de la neutralización de las restricciones a la libre circulación de capitales que se ponen de manifiesto a partir del trato tributario discriminatorio que los Estados ...
In these days of significant changes and the rapid evolution of technology, the amount of datascience has to deal with the growth incredibly fast, and the size of data could be prohibitive.Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA) ...
Animal models are crucial to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the different pathological processes. These models are also excellent tools to facilitate the research of new targets for the treatment of ...
The breakthrough in the technological field has allowed the extraction of large amounts of the so-called omics data. The analysis and Integration of this type of data by means of advanced statistical and bioinformatics ...
The rapid increase of obesity has encouraged the study of the aetiology of eating disorders. Besides genetic, social and metabolic factors, obesity is caused by over-eating and has high rate of relapse to abnormal food-taking ...
Unequal dosage of X-linked genes between males (XY) and females (XX) is balanced by dosage compensation mechanisms. In Drosophila melanogaster, the dosage compensation complex specifically induces a 2-fold hypertranscription ...
One of the major challenges in electronic literature is the search for literariness in the works. This topic is still largely debated among scholars due to the diverse representations that the literary can acquire and the ...
Classical planning is the problem of nding a sequence of actions that take an agent from an initial state to a desired goal situation, assuming deter- ministic outcomes for actions and perfect information. Satis cing ...
This thesis is divided into three different sections. The first two sections involve the study of cell cycle and the third section is focused on meiosis. In the first chapter, we have developed a fluorescent-localized cell ...
The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly conserved cellular program that allows well-‐differentiated epithelial cells to convert to motile mesenchymal cells. EMT is critical f ...
Human genome project published their first human whole genome sequence on 2001 at the cost of billions of dollars. Since, the cost of sequencing is decreasing faster than Moore’s law. Now, we not only have sequenced thousands ...
