Basal ganglia (BG) are important for selection of behavior, and in Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine deficiency causes BG to malfunction. Also, the network dynamic behavior changes, and oscillations and spike synchronization develop. We built a BG network model...
Working memory is a key component of cognition. The neural mechanism behind WM were until recently hypothesized to depend on persistent recurrent activation, but focus has shifted towards the role of a short-term ‘memory’ in the activated synapses. We tested whether a...
How cloud droplets grow to raindrops in warm clouds, clouds without ice crystals, have puzzled scientist for a long time. In this project, the possible enhancement of droplet growth by turbulence is investigated. The first step in this project is to include droplet...
The early Eocene period, about 50 million years ago, had a much warmer climate than today. It is possible to study this period with climate models, but to obtain a reasonable global match between model surface temperature and proxy reconstructions extremely high...
Events with warm and moist air entering the Arctic have been shown to have a substantial effect on the surface temperature climate in winter. Here, the coupled global climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison project Phase 5 (CMIP5) are...
