Definition of single spikes from multiunit spike trains plays a critical role in neurophysiology and in neuroengineering. Moreover, long period analysis are needed to study synaptic plasticity effects and observe the long and medium term development on whi ...
Although straight point to point movements have been successfully modeled until now, many reaching movements are not straight neither in hand Cartesian nor in joint angles space, such as for example movements directed towards oneself. Addressing the genera ...
The large-scale structure of complex systems is intimately related to their functionality and evolution. In particular, global transport processes in flow networks rely on the presence of directed pathways from input to output nodes and edges, which organi ...
The quest to understand the way in which neurons interconnect to form circuits that function as a unit began when Ramon y Cajal concluded that axo-dendritic apposition were too conspicuous to be incidental and proposed that two neurons must be communicatin ...
The epigenetic marking of chromatin provides a ubiquitous means for cells to shape and maintain their identity, and to react to environmental stimuli via specific remodeling. Such an epigenetic code of the core components of chromatin, DNA and histone prot ...
Measurements of T2 relaxation times in tissues have provided a unique, noninvasive method to investigate the microenvironment of water molecules in vivo. As more clinical imaging is performed at higher field strengths, tissue relaxation times need to be re ...
We present a segmentation method for fetal brain tissues of T2w MR images, based on the well known Expectation Maximization Markov Random Field (EM- MRF) scheme. Our main contribution is an intensity model composed of 7 Gaussian distribution designed to de ...
Reach-to-grasp tasks are composed of several actions that are more and more considered as simultaneously controlled by the central nervous system in a feedforward manner (at least for well-known activities). If this hypothesis is correct, during prehension ...
In order to better understand the high complexity of the brain, the detailed study of its individual components clearly seems insufficient. The backbone of complexity in the nervous system is composed of the large scale architectural characteristics of the ...
The unique properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and the application of nanotechnology to the nervous system may have a tremendous impact in the future developments of microsystems for neural prosthetics as well as immediate benefits for basic ...
