Stable coding of aversive associations in medial prefrontal populations by Herry, Cyril, Jercog, Daniel

“…While studies at the single-cell level have demonstrated the involvement of this area in various aspects of fear processing, such as the encoding of threat-related cues and fear expression, an increasingly prevalent idea in the systems neuroscience field is that populations of neurons are, in fact, the essential unit of computation in many integrative brain regions such as prefrontal areas. …”

The Comparison of Classical Statistical and Machine Learning Methods in Prediction of Thrombosis in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Ilija Doknić, Mirjana Mitrović, Zoran Bukumirić, Marijana Virijević, Nikola Pantić, Nikica Sabljić, Darko Antić, Živko Bojović

“…We examined which attributes are significant and what role they play in prediction and found six significant parameters: sex of the patient, prior history of thrombotic event, type of therapy, international normalized ratio (INR), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-specific Comorbidity. These findings suggest that subtle DS techniques can improve the prediction of Thrombosis in AML patients, thereby aiding in individual treatment planning.…”
