Delayed and Temporally Imprecise Neurotransmission in Reorganizing Cortical Microcircuits

Graham Knott, Anne Alison Jorstad, Yuan Liu, Yan Liu

Synaptic neurotransmission is modified at cortical connections throughout life. Varying the amplitude of the postsynaptic response is one mechanism that generates flexible signaling in neural circuits. The timing of the synaptic response may also play a ro ...

Principal component structuring of the Non-REM sleep EEG spectrum in older adults yields age-related changes in the sleep and wake drives

Mirjam Münch

Age-related disturbances of the sleep-wake cycle can reflect ontogenetic changes in regulatory mechanisms underlying normal and pathological aging, but the exact nature of these changes remains unclear. The present report is the first attempt to apply prin ...

Altered cortical and subcortical local coherence in obstructive sleep apnea: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Jonas Richiardi

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder, characterized by excessive snoring and repetitive apneas and arousals, which leads to fragmented sleep and, most importantly, to intermittent nocturnal hypoxaemia d ...

Task Scheduling for Highly Concurrent Analytical and Transactional Main-Memory Workloads

Anastasia Ailamaki, Iraklis Psaroudakis

Task scheduling typically employs a worker thread per hardware context to process a dynamically changing set of tasks. It is an appealing solution to exploit modern multi-core processors, as it eases parallelization and avoids unnecessary context switches ...

Light and chronobiology: Implications for health and disease

Mirjam Münch

Environmental light synchronizes the primary mammalian biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei, as well as many peripheral clocks in tissues and cells, to the solar 24-hour day. Light is the strongest synchronizing agent (zeitgeber) for the circadia ...

Lighting and human needs in built spaces

Marilyne Andersen

This presentation will discuss how recent findings in photobiology about the correlation between lighting and the human circadian system can prospectively be applied to architectural design, with a focus on healthcare and housing environments. Outcomes of ...

The Impact of Sleep Fragmentation on Sleep Homeostasis, Brain and Peripheral Energy Metabolism and Spatial Learning

Maxime Olivier Baud

The quality of sleep has recently come to the forefront of public health concerns in industrialized nations. Indeed, voluntary sleep curtailment is widespread, sleep disorders are increasingly recognized and both correlate with the current epidemiology of ...

SleepPic. Hardware Developments for a Wearable On-line Sleep and Wake Discrimination System

Dario Floreano, Walter Karlen

The design of wearable systems comes with constraints in computational and power resources. We describe the development of customized hardware for the wearable discrimination of human sleep and wake based on cardio-respiratory signals. The device was desig ...

Large-Eddy Simulation of the Convective Atmospheric Boundary Layer over Heterogeneous Land Surfaces

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Daniel Nadeau

The parameterization of the atmospheric boundary layer is crucial for accurate numerical weather predictions. Over heterogeneous terrain, several open challenges remain regarding the growth of internal boundary layers, the determination of mixing layer hei ...

Large-Eddy Simulation of the Convective Atmospheric Boundary Layer over Heterogeneous Land Surfaces

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau

The parameterization of the atmospheric boundary layer is essential for accurate numerical weather predictions. The near-surface values of air temperature or wind speed for instance are highly dependent on the complex land – atmosphere interactions over he ...
