      Physical exercise can improve brain function and delay neurodegeneration; however, the initial signal from muscle to brain is unknown. Here we show that the lactate receptor (HCAR1) is highly enriched in pial fibroblast-like ...
    • Identifying pain and distress in non-verbal persons with intellectual disability: Professional caregivers' and parents' attitudes towards using wearable sensors 

      Øderud, Tone; Boysen, Elin Sundby; Strisland, Frode; Dahl, Inger-Lise; Bull, Emilie Meyer; Hassel, Bjørnar; Morland, Cecilie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      BACKGROUND: Persons with severe intellectual disability (ID) may be non-verbal and unable to communicate pain or distress. Consequently, painful conditions may go undetected, and non-verbal persons with ID may not receive ...

    • L‐lactate induces neurogenesis in the mouse ventricular‐subventricular zone via the lactate receptor HCA1 

      Lambertus, Marvin; Øverberg, Linda Thøring; Andersson, Krister Andreas; Hjelden, Malin Sørli; Hadzic, Alena; Haugen, Øyvind Pernell; Storm-Mathisen, Jon; Bergersen, Linda Hildegard; Geiseler, Samuel; Morland, Cecilie (Acta Physiologica;Volume 231, Issue 3, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-26)
      Aim: Adult neurogenesis occurs in two major niches in the brain: the subgranular zone of the hippocampal formation and the ventricular-subventricular zone. Neurogenesis in both niches is reduced in ageing and neurological ...
    • Plasma levels of BDNF and EGF are reduced in acute stroke patients 

      Øverberg, Linda Thøring; Lugg, Elise Fritsch; Gaarder, Mona; Langhammer, Birgitta; Thommessen, Bente; Rønning, Ole Morten; Morland, Cecilie (Heliyon;Volume 8, Issue 6, e09661, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-17)
      Stroke affects almost 14 million people worldwide each year. It is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of acquired disability. The degree of initial impairment in cognitive and motor functions greatly affects ...
