The purpose of this study was to explore different patterns of functional networks between amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and non-aMCI (naMCI) using electroencephalography (EEG) graph theoretical analysis. The data of 197 drug-naïve individuals who complained cognitive impairment were reviewed. Resting-state EEG data was acquired.

Background: Neurons have specialized structures that facilitate information transfer using electrical and chemical signals. Within the perspective of neural computation, the neuronal structure is an important prerequisite for the versatile computational capabilities of neurons resulting from the integration of diverse synaptic input patterns, complex interactions among the passive and active dendritic local currents, and the interplay between dendrite and soma to generate action potential output. For this, characterization of the relationship between the structure and neuronal spike dynamics could provide essential information about the cellular-level mechanism supporting neural computations.

: Ever since the seminal work by McCulloch and Pitts, the theory of neural computation and its philosophical foundation known as 'computationalism' have been central to brain-inspired artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The present study describes neural dynamics and neural coding approaches to understand the mechanisms of neural computation. The primary focus is to characterize the multiscale nature of logic computations in the brain, which might occur at a single neuron level, between neighboring neurons via synaptic transmission, and at the neural circuit level.

Objective: The stability is an important factor to decide the treatment plan in thoracolumbar burst fracture patients. Patients with an unstable burst fracture generally need operative management. Decrease in vertebral body height, local kyphosis, involvement of posterior column, and/or canal compromise are considered important factors to determine the treatment plan.

Cervical spondylolytic spondylolisthesis is a rare congenital anomaly. It is often misunderstood as a result of trauma. However, most of them are congenital deformities.

The brain needs more energy than other organs in the body. Mitochondria are the generator of vital power in the living organism. Not only do mitochondria sense signals from the outside of a cell, but they also orchestrate the cascade of subcellular events by supplying adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP), the biochemical energy.
