Sharp wave-ripple (SPW-R) complexes in the hippocampus-entorhinal cortex are believed to be important for transferring labile memories from the hippocampus to the neocortex for long-term storage. We found that selective elimination of SPW-Rs during post-training consolidation periods resulted in performance impairment in rats trained on a hippocampus-dependent spatial memory task. Our results provide evidence for a prominent role of hippocampal SPW-Rs in memory consolidation.

Hearing loss (HL) in mid-life has been suggested as a risk factor for cognitive decline. It is unclear whether this relationship is due to deprivation of auditory input alone, degenerative processes, or a combination. Animal models are useful to investigate underlying neural mechanisms as human studies can be confounded by various factors.

Groundwater monitoring is a crucial part of groundwater remediation that produces data from various strategically placed wells to maintain a water quality standard. Using the United States Department of Energy's Hanford 100-HRD area well data, recurrent neural networks are trained in the form of one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Dual-stage Attention-based LSTM (DA-LSTM) networks to reduce monitoring costs and increase data sampling responsiveness that is subject to laboratory analysis delays, with the best network being DA-LSTM achieving an R score of 0.82.

The study aimed to examine the effects of Quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic medication with purported neuroprotective qualities, on cognitive function and synaptic plasticity in epileptic rats. This investigation also sought to elucidate the mechanisms by which quetiapine influences the activity of the cyclic adenylate response element binding protein (CREB)/brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway and metallomatrix proteinase-9 (MMP9) expression in the context of epilepsy. The epileptic model was induced in rats through the administration of pilocarpine, with normal rats serving as the control group.

The classification of Doppler ultrasound images plays an important role in the diagnosis of pregnancy. However, it is a challenging problem that suffers from a variable length of these images with a dimension gap between them. In this study, we propose a latent representation weights learning method (LRWL) for pregnancy prediction using Doppler ultrasound images.
