Investigation on the regular and chaotic dynamics of a ring network of five inertial Hopfield neural network: theoretical, analog and microcontroller simulation.

The studies conducted in this contribution are based on the analysis of the dynamics of a homogeneous network of five inertial neurons of the Hopfield type to which a unidirectional ring coupling topology is applied. The coupling is achieved by perturbing the next neuron's amplitude with a signal proportional to the previous one. The system consists of ten coupled ODEs, and the investigations carried out have allowed us to highlight several unusual and rarely related dynamics, hence the importance of emphasizing them.

Unraveling the dynamics of a flux coupled Chialvo neurons and the existence of extreme events.

To illustrate the occurrences of extreme events in the neural system we consider a pair of Chialvo neuron maps.

Imperfect chimera and synchronization in a hybrid adaptive conductance based exponential integrate and fire neuron model.

In this study, the hybrid conductance-based adaptive exponential integrate and fire (CadEx) neuron model is proposed to determine the effect of magnetic flux on conductance-based neurons. To begin with, bifurcation analysis is carried out in relation to the input current, resetting parameter, and adaptation time constant in order to comprehend dynamical transitions. We exemplify that the existence of period-1, period-2, and period-4 cycles depends on the magnitude of input current via period doubling and period halving bifurcations.

A Systematic Review of Yoga as a Supportive Treatment for Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been one of the leading causes of neuropsychiatric disorders among children, which is why it is extremely essential to have a clear understanding of the disease and the new and upcoming treatment options available. Yoga has been one of the most recently explored and newer techniques that have been employed in the treatment of this disorder. It has become extremely crucial to understand the importance of using supportive treatments in the management of ADHD owing to the innumerable side effects caused by stimulant medication and the growing demands of parental concern about starting their children on stimulant medication at a very young age.

Fluorescent carbon dot embedded polystyrene: an alternative for micro/nanoplastic translocation study in leguminous plants.

Micro/nanoplastics are widespread in terrestrial ecosystem. Even though many studies have been reported on the effects of these in marine environment, studies concerning their accumulation and impact on terrestrial ecosystem have been scanty. The current study was designed to determine how terrestrial plants, especially legumes, interact with micro/nanoplastics to gain insights into their uptake and translocation.

Consensus genetic linkage map and QTL mapping allow to capture the genomic regions associated with agronomic traits in pearl millet.
