Anatomical planeAn anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human and animal anatomy, three principal planes are used: The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body into left and right. The coronal plane or frontal plane (vertical) divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions.
Lumbar spinal stenosisLumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves and blood vessels at the level of the lumbar vertebrae. Spinal stenosis may also affect the cervical or thoracic region, in which case it is known as cervical spinal stenosis or thoracic spinal stenosis. Lumbar spinal stenosis can cause pain in the low back or buttocks, abnormal sensations, and the absence of sensation (numbness) in the legs, thighs, feet, or buttocks, or loss of bladder and bowel control.
Bayesian approaches to brain functionBayesian approaches to brain function investigate the capacity of the nervous system to operate in situations of uncertainty in a fashion that is close to the optimal prescribed by Bayesian statistics. This term is used in behavioural sciences and neuroscience and studies associated with this term often strive to explain the brain's cognitive abilities based on statistical principles. It is frequently assumed that the nervous system maintains internal probabilistic models that are updated by neural processing of sensory information using methods approximating those of Bayesian probability.
TrotChez certains quadrupèdes, le trot est une allure sautée, symétrique, à deux temps égaux, par bipèdes diagonaux. Cette allure correspond à environ par heure chez le cheval de selle. Le trot est une allure dite à 2 temps : Le correspond au poser d'un bipède diagonal (antérieur droit et postérieur gauche levés par exemple) + un moment de projection Le correspond au poser de l'autre bipède diagonal (antérieur gauche et postérieur droit levés) + le moment de projection.
NeurochimieLa neurochimie ou neurobiochimie, est la science qui s'intéresse aux phénomènes biochimiques du système nerveux. Elle comprend principalement l'étude des neurotransmetteurs qui assurent la transmission de l'information électrique entre deux neurones. Elle comprend également l'étude d'autres molécules telles que et les neuropeptides qui participent à la physiologie du système nerveux. Ce champ particulier des neurosciences s'attache à examiner l'influence des psychotropes sur les neurones, les synapses et les réseaux neuronaux.
Hierarchical control systemA hierarchical control system (HCS) is a form of control system in which a set of devices and governing software is arranged in a hierarchical tree. When the links in the tree are implemented by a computer network, then that hierarchical control system is also a form of networked control system. A human-built system with complex behavior is often organized as a hierarchy. For example, a command hierarchy has among its notable features the organizational chart of superiors, subordinates, and lines of organizational communication.
