Neural networks simulating short-term memory of two inputs with varying commonality.

The activity and connectivity of neurons in the primate brain underlying behavior cannot yet be completely specified, but neural networks provide complete models of the connectivity and activity that performs specific tasks and provide insight into the neural computations performed by the primate brain (Fetz and Shupe 2003). Studies of neurons in the monkey cortex have shown that short-term memory of sensory events may be mediated by sustained neural activity. Short-term memory tasks have been modeled with dynamic neural networks using a single continuous variable and a gate input to create a sample-and-hold (SAH) function (Zipser 1991; Maier 2003).

Comparison of intra-operative skull fixation techniques on cervical sagittal parameters.

Background: There is limited literature concerning the use of bi-vector traction to a Mayfield following posterior cervical fusion with respect to cervical alignment parameters. The objective of this study was to determine how variability of intra-operative fixation methods for posterior cervical fusion affects post-operative cervical sagittal alignment parameters.

Methods: After institutional review board (IRB) approval, retrospective chart review of a total of 54 patients who underwent posterior cervical fusion from July 2017 to December 2019 was conducted.

Infinity: A Prospective Trial for Safety and Accuracy of Navigated Posterior Cervical and Thoracic Instrumentation in long-segment Fusions.

Study Design: Unblinded single-arm prospective clinical trial.

Objective: Evaluate safety and accuracy of navigation for placement of posterior cervicothoracic instrumentation.

Summary Of Background Data: Computer assisted stereotactic navigation for placement of spinal instrumentation has been widely studied and implemented in the thoracic and lumbar spine.
