Genetic knockout of CS4 sulfation of perineuronal nets as a source of juvenile like plasticity in processes of memory and learning
 Gmiterková, Lenka ; Růžička, Jiří (advisor) ; Telenský, Petr (referee)
Extracellular matrix affects the functioning of the brain. Among others, learning and memory can be affected by the changes in the composition and properties of the extracellular matrix. Different sulfation patterns on the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, one of the extracellular matrix components, can either enhance or reduce synaptic plasticity and neuronal growth. This leads to the changes in the formation of memory. In my thesis I defined the role of 4-O-sulfation of the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in the learning and memory in the young and early adult animals. To do so I used Chondroitin sulfotransferase 11 knockout mice strain, which has decreased amount of 4-O-sulfation. I tested their long-term, short-term, and working memory using behavioural tests. I also monitored the morphological changes in the perineuronal nets and changes in the number of synapses using immunohistochemical methods and confocal microscopy.

Mind Maps in English LanguageTeaching
 Borovková, Petra ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Marie (referee)
The thesis discusses using mind maps in English language teaching. It explains what mind maps are and how to use them effectively. This thesis includes a theoretical as well as a practical part. The theoretical part offers two points of view of the problem - psychological and pedagogical. The psychological part deals with theoretical knowledge of memory and learning. In the pedagogical part, firstly learning styles in connection with mind maps are discussed; secondly some demonstrations of using mind maps in various English textbooks are presented. The practical part focuses mainly on new ideas. First chapter of the practical part shows various classroom or individual mind map activities that concentrate on different language skills. The second chapter is the most important section of the whole thesis as it introduces a new method for learning vocabulary via mind maps. Observations of four students using the method and reflections on it are offered in the following chapters. Finally, the results and conclusions of the observations as well as the advantages and disadvantages of mind maps in general are presented.
