Hemodynamics and Drinking in the Giraffe
Acta Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Background The circulation of 4–6 m tall giraffes is markedly affected by gravity. To ensure cerebral perfusion, upright giraffes generate a blood pressure in excess of 200 mmHg. Before drinking, the head is lowered by 3–5 m, providing exceptional hemodynamic challenges.

Nicorandil treatment improves survival and spatial learning in aged granulin knockout mice
Brain Pathology, Volume 35, Issue 3, May 2025.Progranulin knockout mice display a profound reduction in survival, as well as increased inflammation and cognitive impairment. Treatment of these mice with nicorandil—a K+ATP channel agonist, decreased mortality and improves cognitive impairment. Abstract Mutations in the human granulin (GRN) gene are associated with multiple diseases, including ...

Passivity, No-Regret, and Convergent Learning in Contractive Games [PDF]
arXivWe investigate the interplay between passivity, no-regret, and convergence in contractive games for various learning dynamic models and their higher-order variants. Our setting is continuous time. Building on prior work for replicator dynamics, we show that if learning dynamics satisfy a passivity condition between the payoff vector and the difference ...
