Research Progress on the Potential Pathogenesis of Persistent Postural–Perceptual Dizziness by Chen Qin, Ruyi Zhang, Zhihui Yan

“…ABSTRACT Introduction Persistent postural–perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is the most prevalent chronic functional dizziness in the clinic. Unsteadiness, dizziness, or non‐spinning vertigo are the main symptoms of PPPD, and they are typically aggravated by upright posture, active or passive movement, and visual stimulation. …”

Transcriptome Remodeling and Adaptive Preservation of Muscle Protein Content in Hibernating Black Bears by Vadim B. Fedorov, Arthur Garreau, Øivind Tøien, Brian M. Barnes, Anna V. Goropashnaya

“…This suggests that bears have natural adaptive mechanisms preserving muscle mass and functionality. To identify transcriptional changes that underlie molecular mechanisms attenuating muscle loss, we conducted a large‐scale gene expression profiling (14,199 genes) by transcriptome sequencing in the quadriceps femoris of adult black bears, comparing hibernating animals (n = 5) and summer active animals (n = 5). …”

IMPULSE CONTROL HYBRID ELECTRICAL SYSTEM by A. A. Lobaty, Yu. N. Petrenko, A. S. Abufanas, I. Elzein

“…The optimization of the control system is based on the formation of the control signal at the output.It is proposed to solve the problem of optimal control of a hybrid system based on the formation of the control signal at the output of the controller, which minimizes a given functional integral quality, which is regarded as a linear quadratic Letov-Kalman functional. …”

Predicting Activity in Brain Areas Associated with Emotion Processing Using Multimodal Behavioral Signals by Lahoucine Kdouri, Youssef Hmamouche, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Thierry Chaminade

“…Indeed, existing emotion recognition methods rely on behavioral signals, predominantly facial expressions, as well as non-invasive brain recordings, such as Electroencephalograms (EEGs) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), to identify humans’ emotions, but accurate labeling remains a challenge. …”

REM sleep quality is associated with balanced tonic activity of the locus coeruleus during wakefulness by Nasrin Mortazavi, Puneet Talwar, Ekaterina Koshmanova, Roya Sharifpour, Elise Beckers, Alexandre Berger, Islay Campbell, Ilenia Paparella, Fermin Balda, Ismael Dardour Hamzaoui, Christian Berthomier, Christine Bastin, Christophe Phillips, Pierre Maquet, Fabienne Collette, Mikhail Zubkov, Laurent Lamalle, Gilles Vandewalle

“…Methods We assessed the LC activity of 34 healthy younger (~ 22y) and 18 older (~ 61y) individuals engaged in bottom-up and top-down cognitive tasks using 7-Tesla functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). We further recorded their sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) to evaluate associations between LC fMRI measures and REM sleep EEG metrics. …”

Analysis of stochastic SEIR(S) models with random total populations and variable diffusion rates by Henri Schurz, Taniya Chandrasena, Shanika Chandrasena

“…For the mathematical proofs, the technique of appropriate Lyapunov functionals $V(S(t),E(t),I(t),R(t))$ is exploited. Some numerical simulations of the expected Lyapunov functionals $\mathbb{E} [V(S,E,I,R)]$ depending on several parameters and time $t$ support our findings.…”
