Intensive research over the past few years has provided evidence, that stress is a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. In particular cognitive and emotional processes have been shown to be susceptible to modulation by stress. Whereas acute st ...
Agomelatine, a novel antidepressant with established clinical efficacy, acts as a melatonin receptor agonist and 5-HT(2C) receptor antagonist. As stress is a significant risk factor in the development of depression, we sought to determine if chronic agomel ...
Background and aim of the study: Formation of implicit memory during general anaesthesia is still debated. Perceptual learning is the ability to learn to perceive. In this study, an auditory perceptual learning paradigm, using frequency discrimination, was ...

AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic modifications in the amygdala have been reported to sustain cued fear conditioning. However, the hippocampal formation is also critically involved in fear learning. Therefore, we examined whether fear conditioning is also ac ...
Model-free control of unidentified systems with unstable equilibriums results in serious problems. In order to surmount these difficulties, firstly an existing model-based controller is used as a mentor for emotional-learning controller. This learning phas ...
A straightforward theoretical description of the time-dependent response of ion-selective membrane electrodes to multiple sample changes is presented. The derivation makes use of an approximation for the ion fluxes in the membrane, and of the superposition ...
Implementation of intelligent and bio-inspired algorithms in industrial and real applications is arduous, time consuming and costly; in addition, many aspects of system from high level behavior of algorithm to energy consumption of targeted system must be ...
We present DBToaster, a novel query compilation framework for producing high performance compiled query executors that incrementally and continuously answer standing aggregate queries using in-memory views. DBToaster targets applications that require effic ...
The advent of new technologies in cinema, theatre and virtual reality together with increasing demands for new content, are pushing the boundaries of filmmaking and storytelling to the limits of our imaginations. The potential for 3D film to blur the line ...
Stress is known to be a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. While prolonged and/or excessive stress generally exerts negative effects on learning and memory processes, acute stress can have differential effects on memory function depending on ...
