AI Article Synopsis

  • Louis Lapicque published a significant paper on nerve excitability 100 years ago, which is frequently referenced in the study of integrate-and-fire neurons.
  • The paper details how neurons respond to stimuli, laying foundational concepts in neuroscience.
  • This discussion includes both an overview of Lapicque's contributions and a translation of his original work.

Article Abstract

Exactly 100 years ago, Louis Lapicque published a paper on the excitability of nerves that is often cited in the context of integrate-and-fire neurons. We discuss Lapicque's contributions along with a translation of the original publication.

Ripening karanda fruits are a natural source of phytochemicals, which exhibit various biological properties. The present study aimed to determine the types of phytochemicals, biological properties, and cytotoxic and hemolytic effects of ripening karanda fruits. Two mechanical tools were used to collect the phytochemicals under low temperatures during the extraction process.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of different OPU variables (vacuum and injection pressures during follicle aspiration and flushing, needle twisting to scrape follicles, number of follicle flushes and type of flushing media) on oocyte recovery rate (ORR) and morphology. Overall, 120 postmortem excised ovaries were processed in 62 replicates (1.9 ± 0.

Objective: To establish an arterial spin labeling (ASL) protocol for rat livers that improves data reliability and reproducibility for perfusion quantification.

Methods: This study used respiratory-gated, single-slice, FAIR-based ASL imaging with multiple inversion times (TI) in rat livers. Quality assurance measures included: (1) introduction of mechanical ventilation to ensure consistent respiratory cycles by controlling the respiratory rate (45 bpm), tidal volume (10 ml/kg), and inspiration: expiration ratio (I:E ratio, 1:2), (2) optimization of the trigger window for consistent trigger points, and (3) use of fit residual map and coefficient of variance as metrics to assess data quality.
