Retinoid X receptor activation reverses age-related deficiencies in myelin debris phagocytosis and CNS remyelination
(2015-10-06)Remyelination is a regenerative process that occurs through the formation of myelin sheaths by oligodendrocytes, which are recruited as oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) after demyelination in diseases such as Multiple ... -
Improved quantification in small animal PET/MR
(2015-10-06)In translational medicine, complementary functional and morphological imaging techniques are used extensively to observe physiological processes in vivo and to assess structural changes as a result of disease progression. ... -
Connectivity biomarkers in neurodegenerative tauopathies
(2015-04-28)The primary tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases affecting movement and cognition. In this thesis I study Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and the Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS), two parkinsonian disorders ... -
Novel geometry gradient coils for MRI designed by genetic algorithm
(2001-06-19)This thesis concerns the design of gradient coils for magnetic resonance imaging systems. The method of design by genetic algorithm optimisation is applied to novel gradient geometries both by use of conventional computer ...
