Synchronization in simplicial complexes of memristive Rulkov neurons

Simplicial complexes are mathematical constructions that describe higher-order interactions within the interconnecting elements of a network. Such higher-order interactions become increasingly significant in neuronal networks since biological backgrounds and previous outcomes back them. In light of this, the current research explores a higher-order network of the memristive Rulkov model. To that end, the master stability […]

The efficacy and practicality of the Neurotrack Cognitive Battery assessment for utilization in clinical settings for the identification of cognitive decline in an older Japanese population

IntroductionJapan has the largest aging population with 33% of the population over the age of 60 years. The number of Japanese adults with dementia is estimated to be approximately 4.6 million, comprising nearly 15% of the older adult population. It is critical to administer cognitive assessments early in the disease state that have high reliability […]

Disconnectome associated with progressive white matter hyperintensities in aging: a virtual lesion study

ObjectiveWhite matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly seen on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in older adults and are associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. This study aims to estimate changes in the structural connectome due to age-related WMH by using a virtual lesion approach.MethodsHigh-quality diffusion-weighted imaging data of 30 healthy subjects […]
