A Muscle-Specific Rehabilitation Training Method Based on Muscle Activation and the Optimal Load Orientation Concept by Zhibin Song, Chao Nie, Shuyang Li, Paolo Dario, Jian S. Dai

“…In this paper, a muscle-specific rehabilitation training method based on the optimal load orientation concept (OLOC) was proposed for patients whose motor neurons are injured, but whose muscles and tendons are intact, to implement high-efficiency resistance training for the shoulder muscles, which is one of the most complex joints in the human body. …”

Blockade of NR2A-Containing NMDA Receptors Induces Tau Phosphorylation in Rat Hippocampal Slices by Julie Allyson, Eve Dontigny, Yves Auberson, Michel Cyr, Guy Massicotte

“…From a mechanistic perspective, our study revealed that blockade of NR2A-containing receptors influences Tau phosphorylation probably by increasing calcium influx into neurons, which seems to rely on accumulation of new NR1/NR2B receptors in neuronal membranes and could involve the cyclin-dependent kinase 5 pathway.…”

Exploring the Potential of Neural Networks to Predict Statistics of Solar Wind Turbulence by Daniel Wrench, Tulasi N. Parashar, Ritesh K. Singh, Marcus Frean, Ramesh Rayudu

“…A small feedforward ANN, with only 20 hidden neurons, can predict the large‐scale fluctuation amplitudes better than mean imputation or linear interpolation when the percentage of missing data is high. …”

From light sensing to adaptive learning: hafnium diselenide reconfigurable memcapacitive devices in neuromorphic computing by Bashayr Alqahtani, Hanrui Li, Abdul Momin Syed, Nazek El-Atab

“…Although charge-based or emerging memory technologies such as memristors have been developed to emulate synaptic plasticity, replicating the key functionality of neurons—integrating diverse presynaptic inputs to fire electrical impulses—has remained challenging. …”

Peripheral huntingtin silencing does not ameliorate central signs of disease in the B6.HttQ111/+ mouse model of Huntington's disease. by Sydney R Coffey, Robert M Bragg, Shawn Minnig, Seth A Ament, Jeffrey P Cantle, Anne Glickenhaus, Daniel Shelnut, José M Carrillo, Dominic D Shuttleworth, Julie-Anne Rodier, Kimihiro Noguchi, C Frank Bennett, Nathan D Price, Holly B Kordasiewicz, Jeffrey B Carroll

“…Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease whose predominant neuropathological signature is the selective loss of medium spiny neurons in the striatum. Despite this selective neuropathology, the mutant protein (huntingtin) is found in virtually every cell so far studied, and, consequently, phenotypes are observed in a wide range of organ systems both inside and outside the central nervous system. …”

Cochlear Synaptopathy and Noise-Induced Hidden Hearing Loss by Lijuan Shi, Ying Chang, Xiaowei Li, Steve Aiken, Lijie Liu, Jian Wang

“…Disruption of these synapses not only disables the innervated ANFs but also results in the slow degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons if the synapses are not reestablished. Such a loss of ANFs should result in signal coding deficits, which are exacerbated by the bias of the damage toward synapses connecting low-spontaneous-rate (SR) ANFs, which are known to be vital for signal coding in noisy background. …”
