Virtual Nervous Systems for Self-Assembling Robots - A preliminary report [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We define the nervous system of a robot as the processing unit responsible for controlling the robot body, together with the links between the processing unit and the sensorimotor hardware of the robot - i.e., the equivalent of the central nervous system in biological organisms.

Neuromodulation of Cardiac Ischemic Pain: Role of the Autonomic Nervous System and Vasopressin
Journal of Integrative NeuroscienceCardiac pain is an index of cardiac ischemia that helps the detection of cardiac hypoxia and adjustment of activity in the sufferer. Drivers and thresholds of cardiac pain markedly differ in different subjects and can oscillate in the same individual ...

Analysis of dysautonomia in patients with Chagas Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Chagas disease American trypanosomiasis is caused by a flagellated parasite: trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted by an insect of the genus Triatoma and also by blood transfusions. In Latin America the number of infected people is approximately 6 million, with a population exposed to the risk of infection of 550000.

A reaction-diffusion model for the progression of Parkinson's disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The temporal and spatial development of Parkinson's disease has been characterised as the progressive formation of {\alpha}-synuclein aggregations through susceptible neuronal pathways. This article describes a new model for this progression mechanism in which Parkinsonian damage moves over time through the nervous system by the combined effect of the ...

1/f Scaling in Heart Rate Requires Antagonistic Autonomic Control [PDF]
, 2004 We present the first systematic evidence for the origins of 1/f-type temporal scaling in human heart rate. The heart rate is regulated by the activity of two branches of the autonomic nervous system: the parasympathetic (PNS) and the sympathetic (SNS) nervous systems.

Developmental Changes in the ECG of a Hamster Model of Muscular Dystrophy and Heart Failure
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 Aberrant autonomic signaling is being increasingly recognized as an important symptom in neuromuscular disorders. The delta-sarcoglycan-deficient BIO TO-2 hamster is recognized as a good model for studying mechanistic pathways and sequelae in muscular ...

Non-invasive Autonomic Neuromodulation Is Opening New Landscapes for Cardiovascular Diseases
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Autonomic imbalance plays a crucial role in the genesis and maintenance of cardiac disorders. Approaches to maintain sympatho-vagal balance in heart diseases have gained great interest in recent years.

Network Analyses and Nervous System Disorders [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Network analyses in nervous system disorders involves constructing and analyzing anatomical and functional brain networks from neuroimaging data to describe and predict the clinical syndromes that result from neuropathology. A network view of neurological disease and clinical syndromes facilitates accurate quantitative characterizations and ...
