, 2014 Neurotoxicity refers to the direct or indirect effect of chemicals that disrupt the nervous system of humans or animals. Numerous chemicals can produce neurotoxic diseases in humans, and many more are used as experimental tools to disturb or damage the ...

Visceral Machines: Risk-Aversion in Reinforcement Learning with Intrinsic Physiological Rewards [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 As people learn to navigate the world, autonomic nervous system (e.g., "fight or flight") responses provide intrinsic feedback about the potential consequence of action choices (e.g., becoming nervous when close to a cliff edge or driving fast around a bend.) Physiological changes are correlated with these biological preparations to protect one-self ...

From acute to chronic pain: tapentadol in the progressive stages of this disease entity [PDF]
, 2017 OBJECTIVE: Chronic pain is now recognized as a neural disease, which results from a maladaptive functional and structural transformation process occurring over time. In its chronic phase, pain is not just a symptom but also a disease entity.

Firing dynamics of an autaptic neuron [PDF]
, 2015 Autapses are synapses that connect a neuron to itself in the nervous system. Previously, both experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated that autaptic connections in the nervous system have a significant physiological function. Autapses in nature provide self-delayed feedback, thus introducing an additional time scale to neuronal activities

Against Explanatory Minimalism in Psychiatry [PDF]
, 2015 The idea that psychiatry contains, in principle, a series of levels of explanation has been criticised both as empirically false but also, by Campbell, as unintelligible because it presupposes a discredited pre-Humean view of causation.

Characterization of Electromechanical Delay Based on a Biophysical Multi-Scale Skeletal Muscle Model
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Skeletal muscles can be voluntary controlled by the somatic nervous system yielding an active contractile stress response. Thereby, the active muscle stresses are transmitted to the skeleton by a cascade of connective tissue and thus enable motion.

Modelling the spatial organization of cell proliferation in the developing central nervous system [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 How far is neuroepithelial cell proliferation in the developing central nervous system a deterministic process? Or, to put it in a more precise way, how accurately can it be described by a deterministic mathematical model? To provide tracks to answer this question, a deterministic system of transport and diffusion partial differential equations, both ...

PhysioMTL: Personalizing Physiological Patterns using Optimal Transport Multi-Task Regression [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Heart rate variability (HRV) is a practical and noninvasive measure of autonomic nervous system activity, which plays an essential role in cardiovascular health. However, using HRV to assess physiology status is challenging. Even in clinical settings, HRV is sensitive to acute stressors such as physical activity, mental stress, hydration, alcohol, and ...

Auditory Experiences in Game Transfer Phenomena: [PDF]
, 2014 This study investigated gamers’ auditory experiences as after effects of playing. This was done by classifying, quantifying, and analysing 192 experiences from 155 gamers collected from online videogame forums. The gamers’ experiences were classified as:
