Highly structured, partner-sex- and subject-sex-dependent cortical responses during social facial touch

Nature Communications, 2019
Touch is an important sensory modality during social encounters. Here the authors report that during naturalistic social encounters in rats, the cortical activity in widespread areas at the level of single neurons is modulated by sociosexual ...

Repetitive tactile stimulation changes resting-state functional connectivity – implications for treatment of sensorimotor decline

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Neurological disorders and physiological aging can lead to a decline of perceptual abilities. In contrast to the conventional therapeutic approach that comprises intensive training and practicing, passive repetitive sensory stimulation (RSS) has recently

Early-phase impact of obesity-associated stress on murine vascular smooth muscle cells depends on EGFR and sex

Communications Biology
Obesity leads to vascular dysfunction mediated partially by the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) EGF-receptor (EGFR). We investigate the impact of obesity-associated metabolic and humoral stress on primary murine VSMC with conditional EGFR knockout (KO)

The role of alpha-rhythm states in perceptual learning: insights from experiments and computational models

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014
During the past two decades growing evidence indicates that brain oscillations in the alpha band (~10 Hz) not only reflect an ‘idle’ state of cortical activity, but also take a more active role in the generation of complex cognitive functions.

𝑞-Bernstein Polynomials Associated with 𝑞-Stirling Numbers and Carlitz's 𝑞-Bernoulli Numbers

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2010
Recently, Kim (2011) introduced 𝑞-Bernstein polynomials which are different 𝑞-Bernstein polynomials of Phillips (1997). In this paper, we give a 𝑝-adic 𝑞-integral representation for 𝑞-Bernstein type polynomials and investigate some interesting ...

Optogenetic stimulation effectively enhances intrinsically generated network synchrony

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
Synchronized bursting is found in many brain areas and has also been implicated in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia.

Acidosis-induced p38-kinase activation triggers an IL-6-mediated crosstalk of renal proximal tubule cells with fibroblasts leading to their inflammatory response

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Local interstitial acidosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces inflammatory responses and dedifferentiation of proximal tubule cells (PTCs), disrupting cellular crosstalk through cytokine and COX-2 metabolite secretion.

How adaptation shapes spike rate oscillations in recurrent neuronal networks

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013
Neural mass signals from in-vivo recordings often show oscillations with frequencies ranging from <1 Hz to 100 Hz. Fast rhythmic activity in the beta and gamma range can be generated by network based mechanisms such as recurrent synaptic excitation ...

Bernstein Superalgebras and Supermodules

Journal of Algebra, 1999
This paper is devoted to introduce Bernstein superalgebras and to describe irreducible Bernstein supermodules. Since Bernstein algebras do not form a variety of algebras, the general definition of superalgebras in an arbitrary homogeneous variety of algebras given by \textit{E. I. Zelmanov} and \textit{I.~P. Shestakov} [Izv. Akad. Nauk SSR, Ser.

A New Generating Function of (q-) Bernstein-Type Polynomials and Their Interpolation Function

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2010
The main object of this paper is to construct a new generating function of the (q-) Bernstein-type polynomials. We establish elementary properties of this function. By using this generating function, we derive recurrence relation and derivative of the (q-
