Monitoring Alzheimer's disease via ultraweak photon emission
(2024-01-19)
In an innovative experiment, we detected ultraweak photon emission (UPE) from the hippocampus of male rat brains and found significant correlations between Alzheimer's disease (AD), memory decline, oxidative stress, and ...
Slow–fast dynamics in a neurotransmitter release model: Delayed response to a time-dependent input signal
(2023-12-01)
We propose a generalization of the neurotransmitter release model proposed in Rodrigues et al. (2016). We increase the complexity of the underlying slow–fast system by considering a degree-four polynomial as parametrization ...
Effects of optogenetic and visual stimulation on gamma activity in the visual cortex
(2023-11-01)
Studying brain functions and activity during gamma oscillations can be a challenge because it requires careful planning to create the necessary conditions for a controlled experiment. Such an experiment consists of placing ...
Invariants for neural automata
(2023-01-01)
Computational modeling of neurodynamical systems often deploys neural networks and symbolic dynamics. One particular way for combining these approaches within a framework called vector symbolic architectures leads to neural ...
SilionBurmuin: A Horizon Europe propelled Neurocomputing Initiative in the Basque Country
(2023-01-01)
SiliconBurmuin is aimed at creating a multi-disciplinary neurocomputing community in the Basque Country, bringing together technology and scientific research centres and industry companies. This community will: (1) identify ...
Geometry of spiking patterns in early visual cortex: A topological data analytic approach
(2022-11-16)
In the brain, spiking patterns live in a high-dimensional space of neurons and time. Thus, determining the intrinsic structure of this space presents a theoretical and experimental challenge. To address this challenge, we ...
Interaction Mechanism Between the HSV-1 Glycoprotein B and the Antimicrobial Peptide Amyloid-β
(2022-09-19)
Background: Unravelling the mystery of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires urgent resolution given the worldwide increase of the aging population. There is a growing concern that the current leading AD hypothesis, the amyloid ...
A phenomenological model for interfacial water near hydrophilic polymers
(2022-06-30)
We propose a minimalist phenomenological model for the ‘interfacial water’ phenomenon that
occurs near hydrophilic polymeric surfaces. We achieve this by combining a Ginzburg–Landau
approach with Maxwell’s equations which ...
Immunosenescence and Altered Vaccine Efficiency in Older Subjects: A Myth Difficult to Change
(2022-04-01)
Organismal ageing is associated with many physiological changes, including differences in the immune system of most animals. These differences are often considered to be a key cause of age-associated diseases as well as ...
Classification of bursting patterns: A tale of two ducks
(2022-01-20)
Bursting is one of the fundamental rhythms that excitable cells can generate either in response to incoming stimuli or intrinsically. It has been a topic of intense research in computational biology for several decades. ...
