The influence of visuomotor integration in complex gait in children with traumatic brain injury. KU Leuven
Motor control skills develop rapidly during the first years of life. The relatively fast development of motor control in early childhood, is followed by an extended period of motor refinement into adolescence and adulthood. This refinement is particularly seen in more complex motor tasks which require elaborate cortical processes. The extent to which brain maturation contributes to motor control from childhood to adolescence is, however, not ...
Glaucoma and the brain: a novel optogenetic approach towards retinal ganglion cell protection. KU Leuven
Summary PhD thesis Eline Dekeyster
Glaucoma refers to a group of optic neuropathies, all characterized by progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) - the cells that send visual information from the eye to the brain - resulting in a gradual loss of vision. Ocular hypertension (OHT) is considered one of the major risk factors for development and progression of glaucoma, and thus lowering eye pressure through topical ...
