GNVN33 SPRING This course offers a gender studies analysis of method and methodology as an intellectual framework within the social sciences. This involves to understand and critical reflect on current feminist theories on epistemology, methodology and method within gender studies. The course aims to provide the student with theoretical and practical knowledge on methods for research design, data

GNVN06 FALL The course focuses on the economic, political and cultural changes in gender regimes and conviviality in Europe. It provides students with the opportunity to specialise in theories and analyses of how gender, migration, sexuality and family have become central phenomena in several complex and contradictory ways in the contemporary political development in Europe, focusing on austerity

Symtomen karakteriseras av motoriska, psykiska och kognitiva störningar.

To study different aspects of putative pathogenic mechanisms in HD, we aimed to establish an in vitro model of calcium-induced toxicity in striatal neurons. The

Caspase activation is part of a cascade of events that can lead to apoptosis. We investigat

Petersén Å, Hansson O, Emgård M and Brundin P.Cell Transplantation 9: 577-584 (2000)AbstractTransplantation of embryonic ventral mesencephalon is a potential therapy for patients with Parkinson's disease. As only around 5-10% of embryonic dopaminergic neurons survive grafting into the adult striatum, it is considered necessary to use multiple donor embryos. To increase the survival of the grafted

A major limiting factor is that only 3-20% of grafted dopamine neurons survive the procedure. Recent advances regarding how and when the neurons die indicate that events

Petersén Å, Emgård M and Brundin P.Brain Research Bulletin 50: 275-281 (1999)AbstractThe survival of grafted embryonic striatal tissue, dissected from the lateral ganglionic eminence, depends on the status of the host striatum. We found significantly larger volumes of surviving graft tissue and of striatal-like tissue (P-zone) within the graft, when the host striatum had been subjected to an excit

Petersén Å and Brundin P.Experimental Neurology 160: 402-412 (1999)AbstractCiliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) has a protective effect on the striatum in animal models of Huntington's disease. However, the mechanism through which it exerts its effect is not clear. In this study, we show that there is a concentration-dependent direct protective effect of CNTF against N-methyl-D-aspartate-mediated ex

This genetic neurodegenerative disorder is caused by an expanded CAG repeat in a gene coding for a protein, with unknown function, called huntingtin. There is selective death of striatal and cortical neurons. Both in patients and a trans
