Neuroimmune Interactions in the Gut and Their Significance for Intestinal Immunity
Cells, 2019 Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have a complex, multifactorial pathophysiology with an unmet need for effective treatment. This calls for novel strategies to improve disease outcome and quality of life for patients.

Modeling the differentiation of A- and C-type baroreceptor firing patterns [PDF]
Journal of Computational Neuroscience, 2016, 2016 The baroreceptor neurons serve as the primary transducers of blood pressure for the autonomic nervous system and are thus critical in enabling the body to respond effectively to changes in blood pressure. These neurons can be separated into two types (A and C) based on the myelination of their axons and their distinct firing patterns elicited in ...

Visceral Machines: Risk-Aversion in Reinforcement Learning with Intrinsic Physiological Rewards [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 As people learn to navigate the world, autonomic nervous system (e.g., "fight or flight") responses provide intrinsic feedback about the potential consequence of action choices (e.g., becoming nervous when close to a cliff edge or driving fast around a bend.) Physiological changes are correlated with these biological preparations to protect one-self ...

Severity Detection Tool for Patients with Infectious Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and tetanus are serious infectious diseases in low and middle income countries. Tetanus in particular has a high mortality rate and its treatment is resource-demanding. Furthermore, HFMD often affects a large number of infants and young children.

A Mathematical Model for Skin Sympathetic Nerve Activity Simulation [PDF]
arXivAutonomic nervous system is important for cardiac function regulation. Modeling of autonomic cardiac regulation can contribute to health tracking and disease management. This study proposed a mathematical model that simulates autonomic cardiac regulation response to Valsalva Maneuver, which is a commonly used test that provokes the autonomic nervous ...

Risk Prediction of a Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The progression and severity of MS varies by individual, but it is generally a disabling disease. Although medications have been developed to slow the disease progression and help manage symptoms, MS research has yet to result in a cure. Early diagnosis and

Sea star inspired crawling and bouncing [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The oral surface of sea stars is lined with arrays of tube feet that enable them to achieve highly controlled locomotion on various terrains. The activity of the tube feet is orchestrated by a nervous system that is distributed throughout the body without a central brain. How such a distributed nervous system produces a coordinated locomotion is yet to

Hierarchical learning control for autonomous robots inspired by central nervous system [PDF]
arXivMammals can generate autonomous behaviors in various complex environments through the coordination and interaction of activities at different levels of their central nervous system. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical learning control framework by mimicking the hierarchical structure of the central nervous system along with their ...
