The dynamics of neuronal systems are characterized by hallmark features such as oscillations and synchrony. However, it has remained unclear whether these characteristics are epiphenomena or are exploited for computation. Due to the challenge of selectively interfering with oscillatory network dynamics in neuronal systems, we simulated recurrent networks of damped harmonic oscillators in which oscillatory activity is enforced in each node, a choice well supported by experimental findings.

Determination of the Time-frequency Features for Impulse Components in EEG Signals.

Neuroinformatics

January 2025

Institute of Mathematics, University of Kassel, Heinrich-Plett-Str. 40, Kassel, 34132, Germany.

Accurately identifying the timing and frequency characteristics of impulse components in EEG signals is essential but limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Inspired by the visual system's ability to identify objects and their locations, we propose a new method that integrates a visual system model with wavelet analysis to calculate both time and frequency features of local impulses in EEG signals. We develop a mathematical model based on invariant pattern recognition by the visual system, combined with wavelet analysis using Krawtchouk functions as the mother wavelet.

Cognitive mechanisms of aversive prediction error-induced memory enhancements.

J Exp Psychol Gen

January 2025

Department of Cognitive Psychology, Institute of Psychology, Universitat Hamburg.

While prediction errors (PEs) have long been recognized as critical in associative learning, emerging evidence indicates their significant role in episodic memory formation. This series of four experiments sought to elucidate the cognitive mechanisms underlying the enhancing effects of PEs related to aversive events on memory for surrounding neutral events. Specifically, we aimed to determine whether these PE effects are specific to predictive stimuli preceding the PE or if PEs create a transient window of enhanced, unselective memory formation.

Influenza virus infects millions each year, contributing greatly to human morbidity and mortality. Upon viral infection, pathogen-associated molecular patterns activate pattern recognition receptors on host cells, triggering an immune response. The CD209 protein family, homologs of DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin), is thought to modulate immune responses to viruses.

Aims: Limited studies have been conducted on juvenile conjunctival nevus (JCN) in Asian populations. This study aims to investigate the clinical and pathologic characteristics of JCN cases among the Han ethnicity in northwest China, providing insights for pathologists and ophthalmologists in diagnosing this condition.

Methods: A subset of conjunctival nevi in children and adolescents, characterized by a confluent growth pattern and lack of maturation, was identified and defined as JCN.
