Layer 5 thick tufted pyramidal cells (TTCs) in the neocortex are particularly electrically complex, owing to their highly excitable dendrites. The interplay between dendritic nonlinearities and recurrent cortical microcircuit activity in shaping network re ...
This paper presents a distributed multi-robot system to search for odor sources inside unknown environments. The robots cooperatively explore the whole environment and generate its topological map. The exploration method is a decentralized frontier based a ...
Changes in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated synaptic transmission have been associated with age-related motor and cognitive functional decline. Since anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) has been suggested to target cortical GABAergic ...
Searching for olfactory targets with mobile robots has received much attention in the recent years due to its applications in chemical leak detection, environmental monitoring, pollution monitoring, inspection of landfills, and search and rescue operations ...
Finding the best spatial formation of stationary gas sensors in detection of odor clues is the first step of searching for olfactory targets in a given space using a swarm of robots. Considering no movement for a network of gas sensors, this paper formulat ...
Olfactory perception is a complex phenomenon associated with other processes such as cognition and emotion. Due to this complexity, there are still open issues and challenges regarding olfactory psychophysiology. One challenge concerns the investigation of ...
Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system to recognize and discriminate a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorant molecules. The molecul ...
Background Migraine is a neurovascular disorder in which altered functional connectivity between pain-modulating circuits and the limbic system may play a role. Cortical spreading depression (CSD), which underlies migraine aura (MWA), induces C-fos express ...
Recent advances in associative memory design through structured pattern sets and graph-based inference algorithms have allowed reliable learning and recall of an exponential number of patterns. Although these designs correct external errors in recall, they ...
New neurons are continuously generated from neural stem cells with astrocyte properties, which reside in close proximity to the ventricle in the postnatal and adult brain. In this study we found that microRNA-124 (miR-124) dictates postnatal neurogenesis i ...
