Collision detection in complex dynamic scenes using an LGMD-based visual neural network with feature enhancement

, 2007
The lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) is an identified neuron in the locust brain that responds most strongly to the images of an approaching object such as a predator.

Collision avoidance using a model of the locust LGMD neuron

The lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) system in the locust responds selectively to objects approaching the animal on a collision course. In earlier work we have presented a neural network model based on the LGMD system which shared this preference ...

RNAi-mediated Gene Silencing of Mutant Myotilin Improves Myopathy in LGMD1A Mice

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Recent progress suggests gene therapy may one day be an option for treating some forms of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). Nevertheless, approaches targeting LGMD have so far focused on gene replacement strategies for recessive forms of the disease.

Re-framing bio-plausible collision detection: identifying shared meta-properties through strategic prototyping

Frontiers in Neurorobotics
Insects exhibit remarkable abilities in navigating complex natural environments, whether it be evading predators, capturing prey, or seeking out con-specifics, all of which rely on their compact yet reliable neural systems.

Whole-exome sequencing identifies novel pathogenic mutations and putative phenotype-influencing variants in Polish limb-girdle muscular dystrophy patients

Human Genomics, 2018
Background Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a group of heterogeneous hereditary myopathies with similar clinical symptoms. Disease onset and progression are highly variable, with an elusive genetic background, and around 50% cases lacking ...

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (CSCRMi001-A) from a patient with a new type of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) due to a missense mutation in POGLUT1 (Rumi)

Stem Cell Research, 2017
Recently, a new type of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD type 2Z) has been identified due to a missense mutation in POGLUT1 (protein O-glucosyltransferase-Rumi), an enzyme capable of adding glucose to a distinct serine residue of epidermal growth ...

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2003
The phenotype in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 21 was defined by mutation analysis, protein studies, and respiratory and cardiac involvement studied in 16 patients from 14 families with fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene mutations and LGMD,
