Too different to be equal: Lack of public respect is associated with reduced self‐respect for stigmatized individuals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-25)Individuals with physical and mental disabilities can be stigmatized and perceived in terms of their disabilities in the public domain. This is less pervasive in the private domain, because of the presence of individuating information. We argue that disabilities decrease individuals’ everyday opportunities to receive basic equality-based respect experiences in the public domain and thus makes it ... -
Ubevisst aktivering av betinget smerteresponser og spatiale frekvenser
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-12-14)Bakgrunn: Kroniske smerte har de siste årene blitt mer utbredt, men kunnskapen om kroniske smerter er fortsatt lav. Sentralnervesystemet (SNS) sees på som viktig i forhold til forståelse av slike smerter. SNS bruker endogen smertemodulering for å redusere eller forsterke smerten et individ opplever. Nyere forskning viser at endogen smertemodulering kan påvirkes av ubevisste mekanismer, men hvordan ... -

Involvement of A13 dopaminergic neurons in prehensile movements but not reward in the rat
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-09)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-containing neurons of the dopamine (DA) cell group A13 are well positioned to impact known DA-related functions as their descending projections innervate target regions that regulate vigilance, sensory integration, and motor execution. Despite this connectivity, little is known regarding the functionality of A13-DA circuits. Using TH-specific loss-of-function methodology ... -
