Principles of brain plasticity in improving sensorimotor function of the knee and leg in healthy subjects: A double-blind randomized exploratory trial (2009)

Ageberg, Eva, Björkman, Anders, Rosén, Birgitta, Lundborg, Göran, Roos, Ewa M

Abstract Background Principles of brain plasticity is used in the treatment of patients with functional limitations to improve sensorimotor function. Training is included in the treatment of knee...

Upper limb amputees can be induced to experience a rubber hand as their own (2008)

Ehrsson, H. Henrik, Rosén, Birgitta, Stockselius, Anita, Ragnö, Christina, Köhler, Peter, Lundborg, Göran

We describe how upper limb amputees can be made to experience a rubber hand as part of their own body. This was accomplished by applying synchronous touches to the stump, which was out of view, and...

End-to-side nerve repair in the upper extremity of rat. (2005)

Bontioti, Eleana, Kanje, Martin, Lundborg, Göran, Dahlin, Lars B

The end-to-side nerve-repair technique, i.e., when the distal end of an injured nerve is attached end-to-side to an intact nerve trunk in an attempt to attract nerve fibers by collateral sprouting,...

Fingersomatotopy in area 3b: an fMRI-study (2004)

Van Westen, Danielle, Fransson, Peter, Olsrud, Johan, Rosén, Birgitta, Lundborg, Göran, Larsson, Elna-Marie

Abstract Background The primary sensory cortex (S1) in the postcentral gyrus is comprised of four areas that each contain a body map, where the representation of the hand is located with the thumb...

Inhibition of c-Jun phosphorylation reduces axonal outgrowth of adult rat nodose ganglia and dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons. (2004)

Lindwall, Charlotta, Dahlin, Lars, Lundborg, Göran, Kanje, Martin

The role of c-Jun activation for survival and regeneration of sensory neurons is unclear. Here we report that c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-mediated c-Jun activation is important for axonal outgrowth...

Richard P. Bunge memorial lecture. Nerve injury and repair--a challenge to the plastic brain. (2003)

Lundborg, Göran

Repair and reconstruction of major nerve trunks in the upper extremity is a very challenging surgical problem. Today, there is no surgical repair technique that can assure recovery of tactile...
