Hypertonic Saline Modulates Heart Function and Myocardial Inflammatory Alterations in Brain-Dead Rats.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Brain death (BD) in potential organ donors is responsible for hemodynamic instability and organ hypoperfusion, leading to myocardial dysfunction. Hypertonic saline (HS) is a volume expander with positive effects on hemodynamics and immuno...

Evaluating performance of neural codes in model neural communication networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Information needs to be appropriately encoded to be reliably transmitted over physical media. Similarly, neurons have their own codes to convey information in the brain. Even though it is well-known that neurons exchange information using a pool of s...

A methodological approach for deep learning to distinguish between meningiomas and gliomas on canine MR-images.

BMC veterinary research
BACKGROUND: Distinguishing between meningeal-based and intra-axial lesions by means of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings may occasionally be challenging. Meningiomas and gliomas account for most of the total primary brain neoplasms in dogs, an...

Roles for globus pallidus externa revealed in a computational model of action selection in the basal ganglia.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The basal ganglia are considered vital to action selection - a hypothesis supported by several biologically plausible computational models. Of the several subnuclei of the basal ganglia, the globus pallidus externa (GPe) has been thought of largely a...

Bispectrum Features and Multilayer Perceptron Classifier to Enhance Seizure Prediction.

Scientific reports
The ability to accurately forecast seizures could significantly improve the quality of life of patients with drug-refractory epilepsy. Prediction capabilities rely on the adequate identification of seizure activity precursors from electroencephalogra...

Afferent Input Induced by Rhythmic Limb Movement Modulates Spinal Neuronal Circuits in an Innovative Robotic In Vitro Preparation.

Neuroscience
Locomotor patterns are mainly modulated by afferent feedback, but its actual contribution to spinal network activity during continuous passive limb training is still unexplored. To unveil this issue, we devised a robotic in vitro setup (Bipedal Induc...

Regulation of C2C12 Differentiation and Control of the Beating Dynamics of Contractile Cells for a Muscle-Driven Biosyncretic Crawler by Electrical Stimulation.

Soft robotics
Biosyncretic robots have potential advantages associated with both living organisms and electromechanical systems. Skeletal muscle tissue is a candidate as bioactuators for biosyncretic robots because of its excellent contraction force and controllab...

Control of a Robot Arm Using Decoded Joint Angles from Electrocorticograms in Primate.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Electrocorticogram (ECoG) is a well-known recording method for the less invasive brain machine interface (BMI). Our previous studies have succeeded in predicting muscle activities and arm trajectories from ECoG signals. Despite such successful studie...

Seizure forecasting using single robust linear feature as correlation vector of seizure-like events in brain slices preparation in vitro.

Neurological research
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting 50 million individuals globally. Modern research has inspected the likelihood of forecasting epileptic seizures. Algorithmic investigations are giving promising results for seizure prediction. Though most...

Unsupervised and real-time spike sorting chip for neural signal processing in hippocampal prosthesis.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Damage to the hippocampus will result in the loss of ability to form new long-term memories and cognitive disorders. At present, there is no effective medical treatment for this issue. Hippocampal cognitive prosthesis is proposed to repla...
