Cheung, Karen, Renaud, Philippe, Tanila, Heikki, Djupsund, Kaj
This work presents implantable, flexible polymer-based probes with embedded microelectrodes for acute and chronic neural recordings in vivo, as tested on rodents. Acute recordings using this array...
Orexin loss in Huntington's disease (2005)
Petersén, Åsa, Gil, Joana, Björkqvist, Maria, Tanila, Heikki, Araújo, Inês M., ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the gene encoding huntingtin, a protein of unknown function. Mutant huntingtin forms...
Memantine Improves Spatial Learning in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease (2004)
Rimante Minkeviciene, Pradeep Banerjee, Heikki Tanila
Memantine, a low- to moderate-affinity uncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, has been shown to improve learning and memory in several pharmacological models of Alzheimer’s disease...

Brain aging: Changes in the nature of information coding by the hippocampus (1997)
Heikki Tanila, Matthew Shapiro, Michela Gallagher, Howard Eichenbaum
Advanced age in rats is associated with a decline in spatial memory capacities dependent on hippocampal processing. As yet, however, little is known about the nature of age-related alterations in the...
Brain aging: impaired coding of novel environmental cues (1997)
Heikki Tanila, Perttu Sipilä, Matthew Shapiro, Howard Eichenbaum
Studies of the spatial memory capacities of aged animals usually focus on performance during the learning of new environments. By contrast, efforts to characterize age-related alterations in spatial...
Academic dissertation to be publicly disscussed, by permission of the medical faculty of the University of Helsinki, in the auditorium of the Department of Physiology January 15, at 12 noon.
