The Distinct Functions of Dopaminergic Receptors on Pain Modulation: A Narrative Review by Xia-qing Wang, Tahmineh Mokhtari, Yu-xuan Zeng, Lu-peng Yue, Li Hu

“…The findings can be categorized as follows: (1) D2-like receptors may exert a higher analgesic potency, but D1-like receptors act in different manners across several mechanisms in the mentioned regions; (2) in the spinal cord and striatum, antinociception of DA is mainly mediated by D2-like receptors, while in the NAc and PAG, both D1- and D2-like receptors are involved as analgesic targets; and (3) D2-like receptor agonists can act as adjuvants of μ-opioid receptor agonists to potentiate analgesic effects and provide a better approach to pain relief.…”

Fourier or Wavelet bases as counterpart self-attention in spikformer for efficient visual classification by Qingyu Wang, Qingyu Wang, Duzhen Zhang, Xinyuan Cai, Tielin Zhang, Bo Xu

“…However, it seems that self-attention is not always necessary, especially in sparse spike-form calculation manners. In this article, we innovatively replace vanilla SSA (using dynamic bases calculating from Query and Key) with spike-form Fourier transform, wavelet transform, and their combinations (using fixed triangular or wavelets bases), based on a key hypothesis that both of them use a set of basis functions for information transformation. …”

Event Detection and Identification of Influential Spreaders in Social Media Data Streams by Leilei Shi, Yan Wu, Lu Liu, Xiang Sun, Liang Jiang

“…In addition, most existing methods focus only on event detection and are unable to identify either influential spreaders or key event-related posts, thus making it challenging to track momentous events in a timely manner. To address these problems, we propose a Hypertext-Induced Topic Search (HITS) based Topic-Decision method (TD-HITS), and a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) based Three-Step model (TS-LDA). …”
