Gene transcription is essential for the establishment and the maintenance of long-term memory (LTM) and for long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity. The molecular mechanisms that control gene transcription in neuronal cells are complex and recruit multip ...
The use of composites is growing in structural applications in many industries including aerospace, marine, wind turbine and civil engineering. There are uncertainties about the long term performance of these composites and how they will perform under cycl ...
Stress and glucocorticoids (GCs) can facilitate memory formation. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating their effects are largely unknown. alpha-Amino-3-hydroxy-5- methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor (AMPAR) trafficking has been implicat ...
Increasing evidence suggests that working memory and perceptual processes are dynamically interrelated due to modulating activity in overlapping brain networks. However, the direct influence of working memory on the spatio-temporal brain dynamics of behavi ...
This study is part of a long term study on a male rat model of peripubertal stress in the Laboratory of Behavioural Genetics that shows increase aggressive behaviours against their partners. We are using here these rats in order to create a female rat mode ...
At the end of the 1980’s, a series of existing bridges in Switzerland were equipped with a network of hydrostatic leveling devices, with the aim of following their longterm behavior. Some of the bridges were known to exhibit a steady increase in their defo ...
We consider the problem of neural association for a network of non-binary neurons. Here, the task is to recall a previously memorized pattern from its noisy version using a network of neurons whose states assume values from a finite number of non-negative ...

Stress can affect the establishment and maintenance of social hierarchies. In the present study, we investigated the role of increasing corticosterone levels before or just after a first social encounter between two rats of a dyad in the establishment and ...
Attention can be stimulus-driven and bottom-up or goal-driven and top-down. Bottom-up attention and, particularly, attentional capture are often thought to be strongly automatic, i.e., not modulable. For example, in visual search, it has been shown that sa ...

We analyze a simple hierarchical architecture consisting of two multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifiers in tandem to estimate the phonetic class conditional probabilities. In this hierarchical setup, the first MLP classifier is trained using standard acous ...
