BACKGROUND: Ca-imaging is a powerful tool to measure neuronal dynamics and network activity. To monitor network-level changes in cultured neurons, neuronal activity is often evoked by electrical or optogenetic stimulation and assessed using multi-ele...
One of the main problems when monitoring Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes (C. elegans) is tracking their poses by automatic computer vision systems. This is a challenge given the marked flexibility that their bodies present and the different poses th...
Deep learning is a powerful approach for distinguishing classes of images, and there is a growing interest in applying these methods to delimit species, particularly in the identification of mosquito vectors. Visual identification of mosquito species...
Serotonin plays a central role in cognition and is the target of most pharmaceuticals for psychiatric disorders. Existing drugs have limited efficacy; creation of improved versions will require better understanding of serotonergic circuitry, which ha...
Brain injury remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. We evaluated the feasibility of using a pediatric swine model to develop contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-based measures of brain perfusion for clinical application in va...
There is a wide consensus in considering Africa as the birthplace of anatomically modern humans (AMH), but the dispersal pattern and the main routes followed by our ancestors to colonize the world are still matters of debate. It is still an open ques...
BACKGROUND: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction is an important task towards the understanding of many bioinformatics functions and applications, such as predicting protein functions, gene-disease associations and disease-drug associations. ...
Automated quantification of behavior is increasingly prevalent in neuroscience research. Human judgments can influence machine-learning-based behavior classification at multiple steps in the process, for both supervised and unsupervised approaches. S...
As non-human primates, macaques have a close phylogenetic relationship to human beings and have been proven to be a valuable and widely used animal model in human neuroscience research. Accurate skull stripping (aka. brain extraction) of brain magnet...
The effective identification and quantitative determination of is a major public health concern. Here, an innovative strategy that combines a bacteria-imprinted polydimethylsiloxane film for bacterial recognition and fluorescence resonance energy tr...
