The Role of GABAergic Inhibition in Ocular Dominance Plasticity by J. Alexander Heimel, Daniëlle van Versendaal, Christiaan N. Levelt

“…During the last decade, we have gained much insight into the mechanisms that open and close a sensitive period of plasticity in the visual cortex. This brings the hope that novel treatments can be developed for brain injuries requiring renewed plasticity potential and neurodevelopmental brain disorders caused by defective synaptic plasticity. …”

Computation of Graph Fourier Transform Centrality Using Graph Filter by Chien-Cheng Tseng, Su-Ling Lee

“…To reduce the computational complexity of GFTC, a linear algebra method based on Frobenius norm of error matrix is applied to convert the spectral-domain GFTC computation task to vertex-domain one such that GFTC can be computed by using polynomial graph filtering method. …”

On Fault-Tolerant Resolving Sets of Some Families of Ladder Networks by Hua Wang, Muhammad Azeem, Muhammad Faisal Nadeem, Ata Ur-Rehman, Adnan Aslam

“…In localization, some special vertices (resolving sets) are selected to locate the position of all vertices in a computer network. If an arbitrary vertex stopped working and selected vertices still remain the resolving set, then the chosen set is called as the fault-tolerant resolving set. …”

Poor fixation stability does not account for motion perception deficits in amblyopia by Kimberly Meier, Simon Warner, Miriam Spering, Deborah Giaschi

“…It is possible that poor fixation stability during motion viewing interferes with the fidelity of the input to motion-sensitive neurons in visual cortex. To probe these mechanisms at a behavioral level, we assessed motion coherence thresholds in adults with amblyopia while measuring fixation stability. …”

Scattering, absorption and emission of highly excited strings by M. Firrotta, E. Kiritsis, V. Niarchos

“…Abstract We study tree-level scattering processes of arbitrary string states using the DDF formalism and suitable coherent vertex operators. We obtain new exact compact formulae for heavy-heavy-light-light scattering amplitudes in open or closed bosonic string theories, and derive explicit exact expressions for the absorption cross-sections, and corresponding emission rates, of highly excited string states using the optical theorem and time reversal symmetry. …”

Comparison of the Effects of Electrolytic and Chemical Destruction of the Red Nucleus on the Compensatory Capacity of Rats With Rubrospinal Tract Lesions by V. V. Fanardjian, E. V. Papoyan, V. I. Pogossian, O. V. Gevorkyan

“…This phenomenon is explained by the switching of descending influences on the corticospinal tract through the participation of the following system: red nucleus—inferior olive—cerebellum—ventrolateral thalamic nucleus—cerebral cortex. The above mentioned facilitating influence on the recovery process was particularly prominent in rats with quinolinic acid-induced lesion of the red nucleus. …”
