Title Imaging and Genetics Investigations in Schizophrenia and Aging: A Focus on White Matter

Excerpt Schizophrenia has long been considered a disorder of impaired brain connectivity, and such disconnectivity might be due to disruption of white matter tracts that connect brain regions. This thesis investigates the oligodendrocyte/myelin/white matter pathway in schizophrenia in vivo, and also considers aging effects, as similar substrates are affected during the healthy aging process. In study […]

Title Molecular Evolution of Visual System Genes in Fishes

Excerpt For many species, vision contributes to a number of fitness-related tasks, including mating and the detection of prey and predators. Selection on the visual system should therefore be strong, especially when ecological or genomic changes open new avenues for evolutionary changes. Visual system proteins are thus attractive systems for molecular evolutionary analyses. This thesis presents […]
