Weak rTMS-induced electric fields produce neural entrainment in humans
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-20)Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a potent tool for modulating endogenous oscillations in humans. The current standard method for rTMS defines the stimulation intensity based on the evoked liminal response in the visual or motor system (e.g., resting motor threshold). The key limitation of the current approach is that the magnitude of the resulting electric field remains elusive. ... -

Female rat sexual behavior is unaffected by perinatal fluoxetine exposure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)Serotonin plays an important role in adult female sexual behavior, however little is known about the influence of serotonin during early development on sexual functioning in adulthood. During early development, serotonin acts as neurotrophic factor, while it functions as a modulatory neurotransmitter in adulthood. The occurrence of serotonin release, could thus have different effects on behavioral ... -

Hvordan opplevde terapeuter på BUP-SANKS og helsesykepleierne ved helsestasjonene i Finnmark å samarbeide? Samarbeid mellom spesialisthelsetjenesten og primærhelsetjenesten: En fenomenologisk studie
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-08-19)I dagens helse-Norge er samarbeid mellom ulike etater og samarbeid på tvers av tjenestenivåer blitt stadig viktigere. Samtidig er samarbeid blitt mer krevende i en helsetjeneste som er mer fragmentert og hvor ressursene ofte ikke holder tritt med kravene som stilles. Når det gjelder psykiske helsetjenester til de minste barna, er samarbeid mellom etater ikke minst viktig, både i pasientbehandlingen ... -
Merking av nevroncelledød med Fluoro jade C etter hypotermi og oppvarming i Long Evans rotter. En metodereproduksjon
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-08-19)Å kunne lokalisere indusert skade i hjernen er et svært viktig verktøy i nevrobiologi. I 1997 utviklet Schmued sitt Fluoro-jade fargestoff som spesifikt merket døende og skadde nevroner i histologiske snitt. I 2005 produserte han den tredje generasjonen av fargestoffet, nemlig Fluoro-jade C (FJC). Å innføre nye laboratorieprosedyrer krever at man har gode protokoller og verifiserer at metoden faktisk ... -

"Er det noe mer du lurer på?" - Påvirker legens nonverbale og verbale kommunikasjon hva pasienten svarer, og hvordan følger legen opp svaret?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-08-16)Bakgrunn: Nonverbal og verbal kommunikasjon er svært viktig i møtet mellom lege og pasient, og tidligere studier har vist at kommunikasjonen påvirker diagnostikk, behandling og lege-pasient-relasjon. Kommunikasjonssvikt er en av hovedårsakene til klagesaker i helsetjenesten og at pasienter bytter lege. Formål: Formålet med studien er å belyse om legens nonverbale og verbale kommunikative signal ...
