Nerve-stimulation Device Enables Paralyzed Patients to Walk, Cycle and Swim

Three patients whose lower bodies were left completely paralyzed after spinal cord injuries were able to walk, cycle and swim using a nerve-stimulation device controlled by a touchscreen tablet, researchers reported on Monday. The patients’ injuries to a region called the… Read Full Article (External Site) Dr. David LowemannDr. David Lowemann, M.Sc, Ph.D., is a […]

Predicting Spike Features of Hodgkin-Huxley-Type Neurons With Simple Artificial Neural Network

Hodgkin-Huxley (HH)-type model is the most famous computational model for simulating neural activity. It shows the highest accuracy in capturing neuronal spikes, and its model parameters have definite physiological meanings. However, HH-type models are computationally expensive. To address this problem, a previous study proposed a spike prediction module (SPM) to predict whether a spike will […]

Effects of Cognitive Reserve in Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitively Unimpaired Individuals

The concept of cognitive reserve (CR) has been proposed as a protective factor that modifies the effect of brain pathology on cognitive performance. It has been characterized through CR proxies; however, they have intrinsic limitations. In this study, we utilized two different datasets containing tau, amyloid PET, and T1 magnetic resonance imaging. First, 91 Alzheimer’s […]
