Factor Temporal Prognosis of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Foci Functioning on the South of Russian Far East [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 A method of temporal factor prognosis of TE (tick-borne encephalitis) infection has been developed. The high precision of the prognosis results for a number of geographical regions of Primorsky Krai has been achieved. The method can be applied not only to epidemiological research but also to others.

The role of microglia in viral encephalitis: a review
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019 Viral encephalitis is still very prominent around the world, and traditional antiviral therapies still have shortcomings. Some patients cannot get effective relief or suffer from serious sequelae.

Paleontological Tests: Human-like Intelligence is not a Convergent Feature of Evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 We critically examine the evidence for the idea that encephalization quotients increase with time. We find that human-like intelligence is not a convergent feature of evolution. Implications for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence are discussed.

Seizures and risk of epilepsy in anti‐NMDAR, anti‐LGI1, and anti‐GABABR encephalitis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020 Accumulating data have suggested seizures occur frequently in patients with neuronal surface antibody‐mediated autoimmune encephalitis. We aimed to evaluate seizure outcomes and potential factors associated with the development of epilepsy in patients ...

Phase transition from egalitarian to hierarchical societies driven by competition between cognitive and social constraints [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Empirical evidence suggests that social structure may have changed from hierarchical to egalitarian and back along the evolutionary line of humans. We model a society subject to competing cognitive and social navigation constraints. The theory predicts that the degree of hierarchy decreases with encephalization and increases with group size.

A score that predicts 1-year functional status in patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
Neurology, 2018 Objective To construct a grading score that predicts neurologic function 1 year after diagnosis of anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. Methods Three hundred eighty-two patients with detailed information and functional status at 1 year were studied ...

Predicted selective increase of cortical magnification due to cortical folding [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The cortical magnification matrix M is introduced founded on a notion similar to that of the scalar cortical magnification factor M. Unlike M, this matrix is suitable to describe anisotropy in cortical magnification, which is of particular interest in the highly gyrified human cerebral cortex. The advantage of our tensor method over other surface-based
