An Astrocyte-Modulated Neuromorphic Central Pattern Generator for Hexapod Robot Locomotion on Intel's Loihi [PDF]
Locomotion is a crucial challenge for legged robots that is addressed "effortlessly" by biological networks abundant in nature, named central pattern generators (CPG). The multitude of CPG network models that have so far become biomimetic robotic controllers is not applicable to the emerging neuromorphic hardware, depriving mobile robots of a robust ...

Toward robust phase-locking in Melibe swim central pattern generator models [PDF]
Small groups of interneurons, abbreviated by CPG for central pattern generators, are arranged into neural networks to generate a variety of core bursting rhythms with specific phase-locked states, on distinct time scales, that govern vital motor behaviors in invertebrates such as chewing, swimming, etc.

Finding Design Opportunities for Smartness in Consumer Packaged Goods [PDF]
This study attempts to understand the use of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) in practice to obtain insights to develop design interventions that bring the CPGs into the Internet of Things. Our ultimate aim is to equip CPGs with a layer of smartness so that CPGs could collect information about their use and provide extra services and functionalities. With

Obesity and the gut microbiota: implications of neuroendocrine and immune signaling
An unhealthy diet impairs the symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiota and the host, contributing to obesity. At the intestinal level, identification of host–microbe events essential for proper neuroendocrine/immune signaling is key to the development of microbiome‐based strategies to promote metabolic health in obesity (probiotics ...

Background Oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG ODN) are known to exert a strong adjuvant effect on Th1 immune responses. Although several genes have been reported, no comprehensive study of the gene expression profiles in human ...

Bacterial genome is characterized by frequent unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) motifs. Deleterious effects can occur when synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) with unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) are administered in a systemic ...
