Synapse Plasticity in Motor, Sensory, and Limbo-Prefrontal Cortex Areas as Measured by Degrading Axon Terminals in an Environment Model of Gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) by Janina Neufeld, Gertraud Teuchert-Noodt, Keren Grafen, York Winter, A. Veronica Witte

“…Basic plastic capacities might be linked with remodeling of local intrinsic circuits in the context of cortical map adaptation in both IR- and ER-animals. Frequently described disturbances due to IR in multiple corticocortical and extracortical afferent systems, including the mesocortical dopamine projection, might have led to maladaptations in the plastic capacities of prefronto-limbic areas, as indicated by different LA densities in IR- compared with ER-animals.…”

Cubic-quartic optical solitons with polarization-mode dispersion by the improved adomian decomposition scheme by Afrah M. Almalki, A.A. AlQarni, H.O. Bakodah, A.A. Alshaery, Ahmed H. Arnous, Anjan Biswas

“…This method decomposes both linear and nonlinear differential equations into simpler sub-problems, enabling the extraction of approximate analytical solutions without the need for linearization or perturbation techniques. IADM's adaptability suggests its potential for application in various domains, particularly in the optimization and design of optical communication systems. • The research utilizes both the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and its enhanced version (IADM) to solve the Gerdjikov-Ivanov equation. • Numerical simulations validate the accuracy and stability of these methods, with IADM showing superior convergence. • The study underscores the importance of these methods in improving optical communication systems and other nonlinear applications.…”
