(Inst för klinisk neurovetenskap / Dept of Clinical Neuroscience, 2021-05-28)Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, palpitations, dyspnea, chest pain and fatigue. In many patients, AF symptoms are not alleviated by ... -
An object's smell in the multisensory brain : how our senses interact during olfactory object processing
(Inst för klinisk neurovetenskap / Dept of Clinical Neuroscience, 2021-05-28)Object perception is a remarkable and fundamental cognitive ability that allows us to interpret and interact with the world we are living in. In our everyday life, we constantly perceive objects–mostly without being aware ... -
Novel measure of olfactory bulb function in health and disease
(Inst för klinisk neurovetenskap / Dept of Clinical Neuroscience, 2021-05-26)Present neuroimaging techniques are capable of recording the neural activity from all over the brain but the olfactory bulb (OB). The OB is the first olfactory processing stage of the central nervous system and the site ... -
