Neurobiological Mechanism of Acupuncture for Relieving Visceral Pain of Gastrointestinal Origin by Fang Zhang, Luyi Wu, Jimeng Zhao, Tingting Lv, Zhihai Hu, Zhijun Weng, Shuoshuo Wang, Huangan Wu, Huirong Liu

“…The generation of pain involves a series of processes, including energy transduction of stimulatory signals in the sensory nerve endings (signal transduction), subsequent conduction in primary afferent nerve fibers of dorsal root ganglia, and transmission to spinal dorsal horn neurons, the ascending transmission of sensory signals in the central nervous system, and the processing of sensory signals in the cerebral cortex. …”

Acute β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine Toxicity in a Mouse Model by Maitham Ahmed Al-Sammak, Douglas G. Rogers, Kyle D. Hoagland

“…The cyanobacterial neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is considered to be an “excitotoxin,” and its suggested mechanism of action is killing neurons. Long-term exposure to L-BMAA is believed to lead to neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease). …”

Predicting the Number of Passengers in Public Transportation Areas Using the Deep Learning Model LSTM by Joko Siswanto, Sri Yulianto Joko Prasetyo, Sutarto Wijono, Evi Maria, Untung Rahardja

“…The best prediction model was obtained from the lowest evaluation value and relatively fast time with a dropout of 0.2, 32 neurons, and train-test 80-20. The prediction model on training and testing data improves with the suitability of tuning for four predictions for the next 12 months with mutual fluctuations. …”

Research Progress of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Therapy for Cognitive Impairment after Stroke by LIU Yuanchen, ZHANG Lixin

“…The stimulation site is usually the dorsolateral prefrontal lobe, but researchers have also confirmed the effectiveness of other stimulation sites, such as the bilateral M1 area and right parietal cortex. tDCS improves cognitive function by affecting neurotransmitters (such as calcium ions and γ-aminobutyric acid in astrocytes), the state of neurons, cerebral blood flow, and the connectivity of functional areas of the brain. tDCS not only produces an immediate boosting effect and an after-effect that is effective about 1 hour after stimulation, but also has long-term enhancement (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) effects. …”
