Characterization of Neural Network Connectivity and Modularity of Pigeon Nidopallium Caudolaterale During Target Detection.

Accurate target detection in natural environments is an important function of the visual systems of vertebrates and has a direct impact on animal survival and environmental adaptation. Existing studies have shown that the mammalian prefrontal cortex plays an important role in target detection. However, target detection mechanisms in brain regions similar to other species, such as the avian nidopallium caudolaterale, have not been well studied.

Preparation and Properties of Wood Tar-based Rejuvenated Asphalt.

In order to explore the applicability of the rejuvenated asphalt with wood tar as the main raw material, the orthogonal test was used to determine the optimal ratio of wood tar-based rejuvenator. The physical properties, rheological properties and components of matrix asphalt, aged asphalt, wood tar-based rejuvenated asphalt and commercial RA-102# rejuvenated asphalt were tested and compared. The results show that the optimal ratio of wood tar-based rejuvenator is 15wt% wood tar, 0.
