Neuroligin: Charakterisierung eines neuronalen Transmembranproteins
(2004-02-06)Synapses are highly specialized contact sites where the communication between nerve cells takes place. Cell adhesion proteins are the key regulators of synaptogenesis and modulation. The ... -
Neuroligins Determine Synapse Maturation and Function
(2007-07-10)This project investigated the role of neuroligins in brainstem respiratory network of NL 1-3 and NL 2 conventional knockout mice. The deletion of all three neuroligin genes leaded to a ... -
Neuromuscular adaptations induced by long-term motor skill training
(2020-11-05)This thesis addresses the question of whether spinal cord’s monosynaptic circuitry can be altered due to long-term motor skill acquisition. We researched functional organization and skill-related adaptation in muscle spindle ... -
Neuronal and Perceptual Effects of Selective Attention in the Primate Visual System
(2010-07-21)The work included in this thesis examines cognitive influences on the processing of visual information both on the neural and the behavioral level. A prominent mechanism for the ... -
Neuronale Grundlagen appetitiven und konsumatorischen Verhaltens: Die Funktion des Neuropeptids SIFamid bei Drosophila melanogaster
(2013-09-18)Feeding behavior is crucial for survival of animals and a partial aspect of a homeostatic process. Appetitive and consumption behavior are induced by innate and motivational conditions. Satiated and unsatiated states depend ... -
Neuroplasticity: induction and modulation by external stimulation and pharmacological intervention
(2007-08-16)Neuroplasticity, the ability of the human brain to reorganize itself structurally and/or functionally, has been intensively studied in modern neuroscience research. The recent development ... -
Neuroprotektion und Neurorestauration im MPTP Modell der Parkinson Erkrankung
(2010-07-01)Parkinson s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder of the basal ganglia and is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia ... -
Neuropsychologische Testleistungen bei Patienten mit Koronarer Herzkrankheit und ihr Zusammenhang mit morphologischen Auffälligkeiten im cranialen Kernspintomogramm
(2003-03-05)Recent studies using structural MRI show more lacunar lesions and more white matter changes in patients with coronary artery disease. Cognitive decline has also been shown in these patients. ... -
Neuropsychologische Testleistungen, Hippocampus-Volumina und Stressverarbeitungsstrategien bei traumatisierten Probanden in Abhängigkeit vom Vorliegen einer Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung
(2004-02-11)In recent studies, subjects with post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) have been found with more cognitive deficits and smaller hippocampal volumes in comparison to traumatized subjects ... -
Neuropsychologische Testleistungen, psychopathologische Symptomatik und Hippocampusvolumen bei psychisch traumatisierten Patientinnen
(2003-05-26)Individuals having experienced childhood physical or sexual abuse frequently present with a range of psychiatric symptoms and disorders. Recently it has been shown that persons having ... -
New fatty acids, oxylipins and volatiles in microalgae
(2007-11-26)The main objective of the present thesis was the identification of microalgae producing compounds of high value, in particular polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and oxylipins which might ... -
New molecular technologies to improve the Sterile Insect Technique for the Mediterranean fruitfly <i>Ceratitis capitata</i> (Diptera; Tephritidae)
(2008-05-26)Insect pests cause enormous economic losses to livestock as well as pre- and postharvest stages of agricultural commodities. The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (medfly; Wiedemann, Diptera: Tephritidae;) is one ... -
NF-ĸB mediated signaling mechanisms in epidermal homeostasis and carcinogenesis
(2013-09-16)The transcription factor NF-κB is a major player in a wide variety of crucial cellular functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, invasion as well as inflammation. However in the human epidermis, opposite, growth inhibitory ... -
Niche differentiation of two sympatric colobines, Simias concolor and Presbytis potenziani on the Mentawai Island of Siberut, Indonesia
(2012-12-17)Colobines or leaf eating monkeys are characterized by a specialized digestive system and hence, rather specialized dietary requirements. Therefore, the resulting competition over suitable food would favor a parapatric ... -
NMR Spectroscopic studies of calmodulin plasticity in calcium signalling
(2008-03-18)The present work focused both in structural and dynamic studies on the ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling protein calmodulin. Calmodulin has been extensively studied both for its biological importance in the regulation of its ... -
NMR spectroscopy of liquid-liquid phase separation related to transcription
(2024-06-05)The Carboxyl-Terminal Domain (CTD) of the largest subunit RPB1 of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II), is a disordered low-complexity region which is crucial for pre-mRNA transcription and processing. Due to its highly repetitive, ... -
No sex, No problem? Mutation accumulation in asexual animals
(2020-07-03)According to classical predictions, sex is beneficial because it allows for purging of slightly deleterious mutations via effective purifying selection. In asexual organisms mutational load increases over time, eventually ... -
Non-human primate iPS cells for cell replacement therapies and human cardiovascular disease modeling
(2019-12-03)Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have revolutionized biomedical research due to their versatility. They have potential for regenerative medicine, drug testing, disease modeling and developmental biology. The development ... -
