Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are promising for severe neurological conditions and there are ongoing efforts to develop state-of-the-art neural interfaces, hardware, and software tools. We tested the potential of novel reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes implanted epidurally over the hind limb representation of the primary somatosensory (S1) cortex of rats, and compared them to commercial platinum-iridium (Pt-Ir) 16-channel electrodes (active site diameter: 25m).Motor and somatosensory information was decoded offline from microelectrocorticography (ECoG) signals recorded while unrestrained rats performed a simple behavioral task: pressing a lever and the subsequent vibrotactile stimulation of the glabrous skin at three displacement amplitude levels and at two sinusoidal frequencies.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of fluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) in reducing pain for patients with ipsilateral early versus late recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH).
- A total of 738 patients with radicular pain were analyzed, with TESI administered to 390 for early RLDH and 346 for late RLDH, and follow-ups were done 12 weeks post-treatment.
- Results showed that TESI significantly reduced pain more effectively in early RLDH patients (mean VAS score dropping from 85.44 to 20.16) compared to late RLDH patients (mean VAS score dropping from 72.82 to
Aim: To compare the Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity and phenotype distribution between lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients and healthy individuals.
Material And Methods: This research included 40 LDH patients and 42 healthy individuals. Spectrophotometric assays were performed to determine the serum PON1 and arylesterase activities.
Aim Of The Study: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) may help patients with severe neurological deficits communicate with the external world. Based on microelectrocorticography (µECoG) data recorded from the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of unrestrained behaving rats, this study attempts to decode lever presses in a psychophysical detection task by using machine learning algorithms.
Materials And Methods: 16-channel Pt-Ir microelectrode arrays were implanted on the S1 of two rats, and µECoG was recorded during a vibrotactile yes/no detection task.
Background: In ruminants, fibrous feedstuffs must be included in the ration to ensure normal rumen physiology and to prevent the occurrence of rumen-related metabolic diseases. In addition to being a source of fibrous feedstuffs, they contain energy depending on the level of digestion and protein, minerals, fatty acids, minerals, and secondary compounds.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the nutrient matter, fatty acid, mineral and in vitro rumen fermentation values of the pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.
