EPHA4 signaling dysregulation links abnormal locomotion and the development of idiopathic scoliosis

eLife
Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is the most common form of spinal deformity with unclear pathogenesis. In this study, we first reanalyzed the loci associated with IS, drawing upon previous studies.

A CPG‐Based Versatile Control Framework for Metameric Earthworm‐Like Robotic Locomotion

Advanced Science, 2023
Annelids such as earthworms are considered to have central pattern generators (CPGs) that generate rhythms in neural circuits to coordinate the deformation of body segments for effective locomotion. At present, the states of earthworm‐like robot segments

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Node-Wise Monotone Barrier Coupling Law for Formation Control

Entropy
We study a node-wise monotone barrier coupling law, motivated by the synaptic coupling of neural central pattern generators. It is illustrated that this coupling imitates the desirable properties of neural central pattern generators.

Invertebrate central pattern generator circuits [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
There are now a reasonable number of invertebrate central pattern generator (CPG) circuits described in sufficient detail that a mechanistic explanation of how they work is possible. These small circuits represent the best-understood neural circuits with which to investigate how cell-to-cell synaptic connections and individual channel conductances ...

Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors in Children and Adolescents—The European Standard Clinical Practice Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the European Cooperative Study Group for Paediatric Rare Tumours initiative, we developed standard clinical practice guidelines for ovarian sex cord stromal tumors, based on comprehensive national and international cohort analyses, literature review, and a final expert consensus conference.

Evidence‐Informed Multidisciplinary Consensus Guidance for the Psychosocial Care of Adolescents With High‐Risk Cancer: Recommendations From the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with high‐risk cancer face complex developmental, psychosocial, and ethical challenges that extend beyond disease‐directed treatment. Although international recommendations exist for communication, psychosocial care, pediatric palliative care, survivorship, and shared decision‐making, these have largely evolved within ...

Central pattern generator in the spinal cord : From the point of view of rehabilitation [PDF]

, 2006
Rhythmic activities such as walking are regulated by neural organizations called central pattern generators (CPGs). CPGs become autonomous in function when interrupted from higher control centers.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

The effect of octopamine on the locust stomatogastric nervous system

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Octopamine (OA) is a prominent neuromodulator of invertebrate nervous systems, 33 influencing multiple physiological processes. Among its many roles in insects are the 34 initiation and maintenance of various rhythmic behaviors. Here, the neuromodulatory
