The sacral networks and neural pathways used to elicit lumbar motor rhythm in the rodent spinal cord
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014 Identification of neural networks and pathways involved in activation and modulation of spinal central pattern generators (CPGs) in the absence of the descending control from the brain is important for further understanding of neural control of movement ...

Contributions to the theory of a two-scale homogeneous dynamo experiment [PDF]
, 2002 The principle of the Karlsruhe dynamo experiment is closely related to that of the Roberts dynamo working with a simple fluid flow which is, with respect to proper Cartesian co-ordinates x, y and z, periodic in x and y and independent of z.

Central pattern generators for biomorphic robotics
Genes & Cells, 2023 Typically, the structure of the robot fish frame significantly differs compared to the real organism. One significant difference is in the number of body segments. While live fish can have between 16 (moon fish) to 400 belt fish [1] segments, robots usually have only 5–6 segments since substantial precision is unnecessary when simulating movement.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

The Fourier U(2) Group and Separation of Discrete Variables [PDF]
, 2011 The linear canonical transformations of geometric optics on two-dimensional screens form the group $Sp(4,R)$, whose maximal compact subgroup is the Fourier group $U(2)_F$; this includes isotropic and anisotropic Fourier transforms, screen rotations and ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Evolvability signatures of generative encodings: beyond standard performance benchmarks
, 2015 Evolutionary robotics is a promising approach to autonomously synthesize machines with abilities that resemble those of animals, but the field suffers from a lack of strong foundations. In particular, evolutionary systems are currently assessed solely by

Swimming Rhythm Generation in The Caudal Hindbrain of The Lamprey [PDF]
, 2018 The spinal cord has been well established as the site of generation of the locomotor rhythm in vertebrates, but studies have suggested that the caudal hindbrain in larval fish and amphibians can also generate locomotor rhythms.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
