Efficient coding of spectrotemporal binaural sounds leads to emergence of the auditory space representation

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014
To date a number of studies have shown that receptive field shapes of early sensory neurons can be reproduced by optimizing coding efficiency of natural stimulus ensembles.

Delayed and accelerated aging share common longevity assurance mechanisms. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2008
Mutant dwarf and calorie-restricted mice benefit from healthy aging and unusually long lifespan. In contrast, mouse models for DNA repair-deficient progeroid syndromes age and die prematurely.

Use of Fatigue Index as a Measure of Local Muscle Fatigability in Ryanodine Receptor Isoform-1-Related Myopathies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Introduction: Individuals affected with ryanodine receptor isoform-1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM) commonly experience fatigability in the quadriceps, which may limit physical function and potentially diminish quality of life.

Liouville Integrability in a Four-Dimensional Model of the Visual Cortex

Journal of Imaging, 2021
We consider a natural extension of the Petitot–Citti–Sarti model of the primary visual cortex. In the extended model, the curvature of contours is taken into account.

The q-Onsager algebra and its alternating central extension

Nuclear Physics B, 2022
The q-Onsager algebra Oq has a presentation involving two generators W0, W1 and two relations, called the q-Dolan/Grady relations. The alternating central extension Oq has a presentation involving the alternating generators {W−k}k=0∞, {Wk+1}k=0∞, {Gk+1}k=
