Characteristics, Management, and Utilization of Muscles in Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Empirical Study on Kengoro and Musashi

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Musculoskeletal humanoids exhibit rich biomechanical properties that remain insufficiently unified in prior discussions. This article systematically categorizes muscle characteristics into five properties: redundancy, independency, anisotropy, variable moment arm, and nonlinear elasticity, and analyzes their combined effects on control.

The Spinal Neurons Exhibit an ON-OFF and OFF-ON Firing Activity Around the Onset of Fictive Scratching Episodes in the Cat

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
In a previous report, we found neurons with ON-OFF and OFF-ON firing activity in the obex reticular formation during scratching. The aim of the present study was to examine whether the spinal neurons also exhibit this type of activity in relation to the “

Fast-spiking Parvalbumin Interneurons are Frequently Myelinated in the Cerebral Cortex of Mice and Humans

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2017
Myelination, the insulating ensheathment of axons by oligodendrocytes, is thought to both optimize signal propagation and provide metabolic support. Despite the well-established physiological importance of myelination to neuronal function, relatively ...

A Local Circuit Model of Learned Striatal and Dopamine Cell Responses under Probabilistic Schedules of Reward [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Before choosing, it helps to know both the expected value signaled by a predictive cue and the associated uncertainty that the reward will be forthcoming. Recently, Fiorillo et al.

Comparative Neuromechanical Wing‐Actuation Architectures of Flapping Flight in Insects, Hummingbirds, and Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

Cholinergic Modulation of Cortical Microcircuits Is Layer-Specific: Evidence from Rodent, Monkey and Human Brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017
Acetylcholine (ACh) signaling shapes neuronal circuit development and underlies specific aspects of cognitive functions and behaviors, including attention, learning, memory and motivation.

Dendrite-targeting interneurons control synaptic NMDA-receptor activation via nonlinear α5-GABAA receptors

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Dendrite-targeting GABAergic interneurons powerfully control postsynaptic integration, synaptic plasticity, and learning. However, the mechanisms underlying the efficient GABAergic control of dendritic electrogenesis are not well understood.

Discovering Functional Communities in Dynamical Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Many networks are important because they are substrates for dynamical systems, and their pattern of functional connectivity can itself be dynamic -- they can functionally reorganize, even if their underlying anatomical structure remains fixed.

Nonplanar Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)‐Niobium Oxide (NbOx) Neurons for Oscillatory Neural Network Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a nonplanar niobium oxide (NbOx) neuron device fabricated using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method for use in oscillatory neural networks (ONNs). Potentially, such nonplanar geometry allows for high‐density arrays. The desired threshold switching (TS) characteristics are achieved through an interfacial method using a thin ...

Regenerating Corticospinal Axons Innervate Phenotypically Appropriate Neurons within Neural Stem Cell Grafts. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neural progenitor cell grafts form new relays across sites of spinal cord injury (SCI). Using a panel of neuronal markers, we demonstrate that spinal neural progenitor grafts to sites of rodent SCI adopt diverse spinal motor and sensory interneuronal ...
