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 ... -
Three-dimensional soliton-like distortions in flexoelectric nematic liquid crystals: modelling and linear analysis
(2022-01-01)This article models experimentally observed three-dimensional particle-like waves that develop in nematic liquid crystals, with negative dielectric and conductive anisotropy, when subject to an applied alternating electric ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model
(2023-12-01)Most natural systems operate far from equilibrium, displaying time-asymmetric, irreversible dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and matter with the environment. Although stochastic ... -
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 ... -
Synchronization in STDP-driven memristive neural networks with time-varying topology
(2023-12-01)Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon in the brain. Despite numerous studies, the specific parameter configurations of the synaptic network structure and learning rules needed to achieve robust and enduring synchronization ... -
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 ... -
Molecular Insight into the Self-Assembly Process of Cellulose Iβ Microfibril
(2022-08-01)The self-assembly process of β-D-glucose oligomers on the surface of cellulose Iβ microfibril involves crystallization, and this process is analyzed herein, in terms of the length and flexibility of the oligomer chain, by ... -
Three-dimensional soliton-like distortions in flexoelectric nematic liquid crystals: modeling and linear analysis
(2019)This article models experimentally observed three dimensional particle-like waves that develop in nematic liquid crystals, with negative dielectric and conductive anisotropy, when subject to an applied alternating electric ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The Euler characteristic as a topological marker for outbreaks in vector-borne disease
(2022-12-01)Abstract. Epidemic outbreaks represent a significant concern for the current state of global health, particularly in Brazil, the epicentre of several vector-borne disease outbreaks and where epidemic control is still a ... -
Multiple forms of working memory emerge from synapse-astrocyte interactions in a neuron-glia network model
(2022-10-25)Persistent activity in populations of neurons, time-varying activity across a neural population, or activity-silent mechanisms carried out by hidden internal states of the neural population have been proposed as different ... -
Fock-space approach to stochastic susceptible-infected-recovered models
(2022-07-25)We investigate the stochastic susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model of infectious disease dynamics in the Fock-space approach. In contrast to conventional SIR models based on ordinary differential equations for the ... -
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 ... -
Hyperactivation of monocytes and macrophages in MCI patients contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease
(2021-12-01)Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease ultimately manifesting as clinical dementia. Despite considerable effort and ample experimental data, the role of neuroinflammation related ... -
Stochastic facilitation in heteroclinic communication channels
(2021-09-01)Biological neural systems encode and transmit information as patterns of activity tracing complex trajectories in high-dimensional state spaces, inspiring alternative paradigms of information processing. Heteroclinic ... -
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. ...
