Published: April 2013

We propose a procedure to generate dynamical networks with bursty, possibly repetitive and correlated temporal behaviors. Regarding any weighted directed graph as being composed of the accumulation of paths between its nodes, our construction uses random walks of variable length to produce time-extended structures with adjustable features. The procedure is first described in a general framework. It is then illustrated in a case study inspired by a transportation system for which the resulting synthetic network is shown to accurately mimic the empirical phenomenology.

This paper mainly focuses on investigating the discrete event dynamic decision-making process with two noncooperative intelligent agents, defined as event dynamic games (EDGs). We introduce a novel state space model and analyze the existence of its equilibrium solution. Additionally, we apply principles of network evolution to address the challenge of event dynamic game network modeling.

Sensory-motor systems can extract statistical regularities in dynamic uncertain environments, enabling quicker responses and anticipatory behavior for expected events. Anticipatory smooth pursuit eye movements (aSP) have been observed in primates when the temporal and kinematic properties of a forthcoming visual moving target are fully or partially predictable. To investigate the nature of the internal model of target kinematics underlying aSP, we tested the effect of varying the target kinematics and its predictability.

Importance: 2021 Advance child tax credit (ACTC) monthly payments were associated with reduced US child poverty rates; however, policymakers have expressed concerns that permanent adoption would increase parental substance use.

Objective: To assess whether 2021 ACTC monthly payments were temporally associated with changes in substance use among parents compared with adults without children.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The primary sample included adults aged 18 to 64 years who responded to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2021.

Background: Soluble Aβ oligomers (AβOs) induce synapse dysfunction, leading to cognitive impairment and memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our laboratory and several research groups characterized neurexin family members' physiological roles, pivotal synaptic adhesion molecules for development, plasticity, and maintenance. Beyond their normal functions, we found neurexins binding to AβOs causes AβO-induced neurexin dysregulation.

Background: Inhibitory interneurons normally regulate neural networks underlying memory and cognition, but are disrupted in Alzheimer's disease. Proper interneuron activity reduces amyloid-beta, whereas hyperexcitability elevates amyloid levels. Still, the underlying pathologic processes mediating interneuron dysfunction remain unknown.
