Design and modelling of a tubular dielectric elastomer actuator with constrained radial displacement as a cardiac assist device

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Armando Matthieu Walter, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne

In this paper, we propose an improvement of a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) based augmented aorta. The actuator is a multi-layered tubular DEA subject to the internal pressure of the blood. When activated in synchronisation with the heart, the DEA su ...

A computational biophysical model of thalamic and reticular nucleus microcircuitry: from neurons to emergent network dynamics

Elisabetta Iavarone

The thalamus, once believed to be a simple relay station between the body periphery and the neocortex, has started to be recognized as a key player in higher-order functions, such as attention. It participates in the transition between brain states, such a ...

Deep learning-based reduced order models in cardiac electrophysiology

Alfio Quarteroni, Andrea Manzoni, Luca Dede'

Predicting the electrical behavior of the heart, from the cellular scale to the tissue level, relies on the numerical approximation of coupled nonlinear dynamical systems. These systems describe the cardiac action potential, that is the polarization/depola ...

Mitochondrial cristae modeled as an out-of-equilibrium membrane driven by a proton field

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

As the places where most of the fuel of the cell, namely, ATP, is synthesized, mitochondria are crucial organelles in eukaryotic cells. The shape of the invaginations of the mitochondria inner membrane, known as a crista, has been identified as a signature ...

Low-dimensional firing-rate dynamics for populations of renewal-type spiking neurons

Tilo Schwalger

The macroscopic dynamics of large populations of neurons can be mathematically analyzed using low-dimensional firing-rate or neural-mass models. However, these models fail to capture spike synchronization effects and nonstationary responses of the populati ...

On the stability and dynamics of stochastic spiking neuron models: Nonlinear Hawkes process and point process GLMs

Joao Emanuel Felipe Gerhard, Moritz Deger

Point process generalized linear models (PP-GLMs) provide an important statistical framework for modeling spiking activity in single-neurons and neuronal networks. Stochastic stability is essential when sampling from these models, as done in computational ...

Multi-timescale Modeling of Activity-Dependent Metabolic Coupling in the Neuron-Glia-Vasculature Ensemble

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Renaud Jolivet, Jay Coggan

Glucose is the main energy substrate in the adult brain under normal conditions. Accumulating evidence, however, indicates that lactate produced in astrocytes (a type of glial cell) can also fuel neuronal activity. The quantitative aspects of this so-calle ...

Finite element and finite volume-element simulation of pseudo-ECGs and cardiac alternans

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier

In this paper, we are interested in the spatio-temporal dynamics of the transmembrane potential in paced isotropic and anisotropic cardiac tissues. In particular, we observe a specific precursor of cardiac arrhythmias that is the presence of alternans in t ...

An efficient initialization mechanism of neurons for Winner Takes All Neural Network implemented in the CMOS technology

Pierre-André Farine, Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

The paper presents a new initialization mechanism based on a Convex Combination Method (CCM) for Kohonen self-organizing Neural Networks (NNs) realized in the CMOS technology. A proper selection of initial values of the neuron weights exhibits a strong imp ...

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Free-Behaving Ovine Model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. Introduction: Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to ...
