(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a specialized form of extracellular matrix in the CNS, embodying parvalbumin expressing inhibitory neurons. The PNN assembles towards the end of the period of heightened plasticity, the critical ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2020)This doctoral thesis entails work on learning and memory with the goal of understanding mechanisms that regulate plasticity and affect memory processing. Learning paradigms described here involve classical Pavlovian ...
