Satellite microglia: marker of traumatic brain injury and regulator of neuronal excitability by Alicia B. Feichtenbiner, Karinn Sytsma, Ryan P. O’Boyle, Rhonda Mittenzwei, Heather Maioli, Kathryn P. Scherpelz, Daniel D. Child, Ning Li, Jeanelle Ariza Torres, Lisa Keene, Amanda Kirkland, Kimberly Howard, Caitlin Latimer, C. Dirk Keene, Christopher Ransom, Amber L. Nolan

“…At the same time, network hyperexcitability is present in both mouse and human orbitofrontal cortex. Our findings support a role for loss of homeostatic control by satellite microglia in the maladaptive circuit changes that occur after traumatic brain injury.…”

The association between recent stressful life events and brain structure: a UK Biobank longitudinal MRI study by Cheryl R.Z. See, Annabel X. Tan, Lucia R. Valmaggia, Matthew J. Kempton

“…We analyzed the association between recent SLEs and changes in brain structure, determined using the longitudinal FreeSurfer pipeline, focusing on total GM volume and five a priori brain regions: the hippocampus, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and insula. We also examined if depression and childhood adversity moderated the relationship between SLEs and brain structure. …”

An Analysis of the Cluster-Detecting Property of the BCM Neuron by Lawrence Udeigwe

“…The BCM learning rule, named for Elie Bienenstock, Leon Cooper, and Paul Munro, was first proposed to measure the selectivity of neurons in the primary visual cortex and its dependency on neuronal inputs. We show that an artificial BCM neuron has the ability to detect clusters in a dataset. …”

On Harmonic Index and Diameter of Quasi-Tree Graphs by A. Abdolghafourian, Mohammad A. Iranmanesh

“…The harmonic index of a graph G (HG) is defined as the sum of the weights 2/du+dv for all edges uv of G, where du is the degree of a vertex u in G. In this paper, we show that HG≥DG+5/3−n/2 and HG≥1/2+2/3n−2DG, where G is a quasi-tree graph of order n and diameter DG. …”

Further Properties of Trees with Minimal Atom-Bond Connectivity Index by Jianping Liu, Jinsong Chen

“…Let G=(V,E) be a graph the atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is defined as the sum of weights ((du+dv-2)/dudv)1/2 over all edges uv of G, where du denotes the degree of a vertex u of G. In this paper, we determined a few structural features of the trees with minimal ABC index also we characterized the trees with dia[T]=2 and minimal ABC index, where [T] is induced by the vertices of degree greater than 2 in T and dia[T] is the diameter of [T].…”
