Robot Dream

open access: yes, 2016
In this position paper we present a novel approach to neurobiologically plausible implementation of emotional reactions and behaviors for real-time autonomous robotic systems. The working metaphor we use is the "day" and "night" phases of mammalian life.

Designed Biomaterial‐Enhanced Cell Transplantation for Neural Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
Biomaterials offer a promising solution for cell transplantation in the central nervous system by creating a protective environment that enhances cell survival, integration, and functional recovery in preclinical models of neurological disorders. ABSTRACT Cell transplantation therapy in the central nervous system is hindered by limited survival and ...

Changing Tactics? Optimizing ECT in difficult-to-treat depression (ChaT): study protocol

open access: yesEuropean Psychiatry
Introduction Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an evidence-based treatment for difficult-to-treat depression, in which an electrical stimulus is applied via right unilateral (RUL) (Fig 1) or bitemporal (BT) electrodes (Fig 2).

Neuroprosthetic-enabled control of graded arm muscle contraction in a paralyzed human

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Neuroprosthetics that combine a brain computer interface (BCI) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) can restore voluntary control of a patients’ own paralyzed limbs.

Neuromodulators

open access: yes, 2016
In this chapter we will discuss signaling molecules called neuromodulators, which play a central role in defining behavioral and network states. Neuromodulators are endogenous chemicals released by specialized cells that alter the activity of populations of neurons at a large spatial scale.

Electropneumatic Oscillators Using Nonlinear Inflatables

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In animals, self‐oscillations are essential to coordinate locomotion and other bodily functions. By combining hysteretic membranes with a resistive strain sensor, an electropneumatic self‐oscillator with an oscillation frequency that directly depends upon geometric parameters in the fluidic domain is introduced.

Acetylcholine-modulated plasticity in reward-driven navigation: a computational study [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Neuromodulation plays a fundamental role in the acquisition of new behaviours. Our experimental findings show that, whereas acetylcholine biases hippocampal synaptic plasticity towards depression, the subsequent application of dopamine can retroactively convert depression into potentiation.

Yunweiling alleviates functional constipation: integrating network pharmacology and experimental study

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In a study combining network pharmacological analysis and experimental verification, yunweiling has been shown improve functional constipation by inhibiting the PI3K‐Akt‐p53 signaling pathway and reducing the expression of TP53. Abstract Background This study investigated the impacts and mechanisms of yunweiling in the management of Functional ...

Imaging striatal dopamine release using a nongenetically encoded near infrared fluorescent catecholamine nanosensor. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neuromodulation plays a critical role in brain function in both health and disease, and new tools that capture neuromodulation with high spatial and temporal resolution are needed.
