A temporal-spatial feature fusion network for emotion recognition with individual differences reduction.

Purpose: In the context of EEG-based emotion recognition tasks, a conventional strategy involves the extraction of spatial and temporal features, subsequently fused for emotion prediction. However, due to the pronounced individual variability in EEG and the constrained performance of conventional time-series models, cross-subject experiments often yield suboptimal results. To address this limitation, we propose a novel network named Time-Space Emotion Network (TSEN), which capitalizes on the fusion of spatiotemporal information for emotion recognition.

Joint low-rank tensor fusion and cross-modal attention for multimodal physiological signals based emotion recognition.

. Physiological signals based emotion recognition is a prominent research domain in the field of human-computer interaction. Previous studies predominantly focused on unimodal data, giving limited attention to the interplay among multiple modalities.

Protective effects of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation on cognitive dysfunction and hippocampal synaptic plasticity impairment induced by early postnatal PM2.5 exposure in young rats.

PM2.5 exposure is a challenging environmental issue that is closely related to cognitive development impairment; however, currently, relevant means for prevention and treatment remain lacking. Herein, we determined the preventive effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on the neurodevelopmental toxicity induced by PM2.

Anticonvulsant Effect of Carbenoxolone on Chronic Epileptic Rats and Its Mechanism Related to Connexin and High-Frequency Oscillations.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the influence and mechanism of gap junction carbenoxolone (CBX) on dynamic changes in the spectral power of ripples and fast ripples (FRs) in the hippocampus of chronic epileptic rats.

Methods: The lithium-pilocarpine (PILO) status epilepticus (SE) model (PILO group) and the CBX pretreatment model (CBX + PILO group) were established to analyze dynamic changes in the spectral power of ripples and FRs, and the dynamic expression of connexin (CX)26, CX32, CX36, and CX43 in the hippocampus of chronic epileptic rats.

Results: Within 28 days after SE, the number of spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRSs) in the PILO group was significantly higher than that in the CBX + PILO group.

Clinical Characteristics of Children With Anti-N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis After Japanese Encephalitis.

Background: Viral encephalitis is an important trigger for anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of anti-NMDAR encephalitis after Japanese encephalitis (JE) in children.

Methods: Clinical data of 185 children with anti-NMDAR encephalitis were retrospectively reviewed.

Postural Balance in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis During Stand-to-Sit Task.

Stand-to-sit task is an important daily function, but there is a lack of research evidence on whether knee osteoarthritis (knee OA) affects the postural balance during the task. This study aimed to compare individuals with knee OA and asymptomatic controls in postural balance and identify kinematic and lower extremity muscle activity characteristics in individuals with knee OA during the stand-to-sit task. In total, 30 individuals with knee OA and 30 age-matched asymptomatic controls performed the 30-s Chair Stand Test (30sCST) at self-selected speeds.

Autoimmune encephalitis after Japanese encephalitis in children: A prospective study.

Objective: To explore anti-neuronal surface antibodies and identify associated serum predictors of autoimmune encephalitis after Japanese encephalitis (JE).

Methods: This prospective study first detected anti-neuronal surface antibodies and cytokines in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of JE patients within one week of symptom onset. Anti-neuronal surface antibodies and cytokines in the serum were detected on day 21 post-JE.

Role of PKA/CREB/BDNF signaling in PM2.5-induced neurodevelopmental damage to the hippocampal neurons of rats.

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders including cognitive decline, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. However, the specific molecular mechanisms by which PM2.

Dynamic alteration of dendrites and dendritic spines in the hippocampus and microglia in mouse brain tissues after kainate-induced status epilepticus.

Purpose: To study the alteration of microglial subtypes, the representative markers of microglia, and the morphology of dendrites and dendritic spines after acute status epilepticus (SE) and during recurrent seizures.

Methods: A mouse kainate-induced SE model was used. Dendrites and dendritic spines of granule neurons in the dentate gyrus (DG) subregion and pyramidal neurons in the cornu ammonis (CA)1 and cornu ammonis (CA)3 subregions of the hippocampus were visualized by Golgi staining.

Efficacy and safety of levetiracetam in the off-label treatment of neonatal seizures.

Treatment of neonatal seizures includes etiotropic and anticonvulsant treatments. However, anticonvulsant use in neonates is off-label and requires ethical review. To investigate the efficacy and safety of levetiracetam for neonatal seizures and to establish a predictive model.

Effects of gap junctions blockers on fast ripples and connexin in rat hippocampi after status epilepticus.

Objective: To assess the dynamic changes in the average and peak spectral power of fast ripples (FRs) in the hippocampi after interventions with valproate sodium (VPA), carbenoxolone (CBX) and quinine (QUIN).

Method: Adult rats were used to establish a lithium-pilocarpine (pilo) epileptic model, and were assigned to a lithium-pilocarpine (PILO), VPA + PILO, QUIN + PILO or CBX + PILO group. Intracranial electroencephalography was performed before and after status epilepticus (SE).

Dynamic Changes in Spectral and Spatial Signatures of High Frequency Oscillations in Rat Hippocampi during Epileptogenesis in Acute and Chronic Stages.

Objective: To analyze spectral and spatial signatures of high frequency oscillations (HFOs), which include ripples and fast ripples (FRs, >200 Hz) by quantitatively assessing average and peak spectral power in a rat model of different stages of epileptogenesis.

Methods: The lithium-pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy was used. The acute phase of epilepsy was assessed by recording intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) activity for 1 day after status epilepticus (SE).
