On Thursday 25 November at 14:00, Hamed Zaer defends his dissertation entitled "Evaluation of the neuromodulatory effects of brain stereotactic radiosurgery - A large animal model of the Göttingen minipig".
The modified low doses of ionizing radiation are thought to leave the irradiated brain cells alive but less metabolically active. This hypothesis has been investigated and the results have been summarized in a new PhD project from Aarhus University, Health.
Movement disorders and psychiatric illnesses are caused by abnormal neuronal activity in different areas of the brain. Modulation of brain cell activity with precisely targeted low doses of ionizing radiation, called radio-neuromodulation, is thought to be able to treat movement and functional disorders. In this international collaborative project between Aarhus University, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Stanford University and an industrial partner, we evaluated the potential neuromodulatory effect of ionizing radiation using advanced electrophysiological methods, Brainmachine interface, histology and imaging modalities.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium C114-101, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99, Entrance C, Level 1, 8200 Aarhus N. Please read full press release for more information.
