Recently, low-dimensional models of neuronal activity have been exactly derived for large networks of deterministic, quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neurons. Such firing rate models (FRM) describe the emergence of fast collective oscillations (>30 Hz) via the frequency locking of a subset of neurons to the global oscillation frequency. However, the suitability of such models to describe realistic neuronal states is seriously challenged by the fact that during episodes of fast collective oscillations, neuronal discharges are often very irregular and have low firing rates compared to the global oscillation frequency. Here we extend the theory to derive exact FRM for QIF neurons to include noise and show that networks of stochastic neurons displaying irregular discharges at low firing rates during episodes of fast oscillations are governed by exactly the same evolution equations as deterministic networks. Our results reconcile two traditionally confronted views on neuronal synchronization and upgrade the applicability of exact FRM to describe a broad range of biologically realistic neuronal states.

Background: Patients treated with chronic dialysis or kidney transplantation have difficulties in maintaining employment. We aimed to estimate employment rates among dialysis and kidney transplant patients from 3 years before to 3 years after initiating dialysis or undergoing transplantation.

Methods: All first-time dialysis and kidney transplantation patients aged 18-65 years in Denmark from 2005 to 2019 were identified using the Danish Nephrological Register and linked with information about social security benefits.

Forests play a vital role in environmental balance, supporting biodiversity and contributing to atmospheric purification. However, forest fires threaten this balance, making the identification of forest fire probability (FFP) areas crucial for effective mitigation. This study assesses forest fire trends and susceptibility in the Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR) from 2012 to 2023 using four machine learning models-extreme gradient boosting tree (XGBTree), AdaBag, random forest (RF), and gradient boosting machine (GBM).

Cow-calf systems grazing native grasslands must transition toward improved economic performance simultaneously with the conservation and improvement of ecosystem services they provide. We present an innovation model with this objective based on a hierarchical model that links functional relationships between state variables, grazing experiments and its validation, and co-innovation at the farm level. This paper describes the hypotheses, designs, and results of the studies, and the role of grazing ecology and herbivore nutrition to support the process of ecological intensification of livestock systems on native grasslands.

The pathophysiological relationship between wound healing impairment and diabetes is an intricate process. Burn injury among diabetes patients leads to neurological, vascular, and immunological abnormalities along with impaired activities of cell proliferation, collagen production, growth factors, and cytokine activities with huge bacterial infestation. In our study, we aimed to achieve a burn wound dressing material with the help of electrospun Chitosan/Polyethylene oxide/Rosmarinic acid (CS/PEO/RA) nanofibers.

Background: Functional ability (FA), a key determinant of healthy aging, is determined by intrinsic capacity (IC), environmental factors, and their interactions. IC is a composite of physical and mental capacities that undergo constant change. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence IC requires a multi-level analysis of individuals to optimize its trajectory.
