On a Finite-Size Neuronal Population Equation

Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz, Eva Löcherbach

Population equations for infinitely large networks of spiking neurons have a long tradition in theoret-ical neuroscience. In this work, we analyze a recent generalization of these equations to populations of finite size, which takes the form of a nonlinear ...

Housing, street and health: a new systemic research framework

Paola Viganò, Stéphane Joost, Dusan Licina, Anna Pagani, Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon, Mathias Lerch, Catarina Wall Gago, Derek Pierre Christie, Idris Guessous

As the world’s population grows in cities, urban dwellers spend a large amount of time inside their home, making housing health ever more important. Critical for residents’ health, the interactions between indoor residential environments and outdoor enviro ...

Cortical ensembles orchestrate social competition through hypothalamic outputs

Hao Li

Most social species self-organize into dominance hierarchies(1,2), which decreases aggression and conserves energy(3,4), but it is not clear how individuals know their social rank. We have only begun to learn how the brain represents social rank(5-9) and g ...

Mycobacterium leprae diversity and population dynamics in medieval Europe from novel ancient genomes

Stewart Cole, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso

Background Hansen's disease (leprosy), widespread in medieval Europe, is today mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions with around 200,000 new cases reported annually. Despite its long history and appearance in historical records, its origins ...

Symptom Prediction and Mortality Risk Calculation for COVID-19 Using Machine Learning

Nahal Mansouri, Sahand Jamal Rahi

Background: Early prediction of symptoms and mortality risks for COVID-19 patients would improve healthcare outcomes, allow for the appropriate distribution of healthcare resources, reduce healthcare costs, aid in vaccine prioritization and self-isolation ...

Fast screening of covariates in population models empowered by machine learning

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Nadia Terranova

One of the objectives of Pharmacometry (PMX) population modeling is the identification of significant and clinically relevant relationships between parameters and covariates. Here, we demonstrate how this complex selection task could benefit from supervise ...

Inference methods for the study of interacting biological oscillators in single-cells

Colas Noé Droin

Biological oscillators are pervasive in biology, covering all aspects of life from enzyme kinetics reactions to population dynamics. Although their behaviour has been intensively studied in the last decades, the recent advances of high-throughput experimen ...

Thinking like a consumer: Linking aquatic basal metabolism and consumer dynamics

Tom Ian Battin, Marta Boix Canadell, Janine Rüegg

The increasing availability of high‐frequency freshwater ecosystem metabolism data provides an opportunity to identify links between metabolic regimes, as gross primary production and ecosystem respiration patterns, and consumer energetics with the potenti ...

Effects of altered river network connectivity on the distribution of Salmo trutta: Insights from a metapopulation model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Alexia Maria Gonzalez Ferreras

Network connectivity is a key feature of rivers that affects patterns and processes in lotic ecosystems. Few studies have considered how changes in river reach connectivity might affect ecosystem attributes at a whole river network scale. The use of popula ...

Comparative analysis of time-based and quadrat sampling in seasonal population dynamics of intermediate hosts of human schistosomes

Andrea Rinaldo, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Background Despite their importance for designing and evaluating schistosomiasis control trials, little attention in the literature has been dedicated to sampling protocols for the parasite's snail intermediate hosts since their first development. We propo ...
