Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the seasonal reproductive changes in the gerbil (Gerbillus gerbillus), particularly in male anatomy and behavior during breeding and resting seasons.
  • During the breeding season, the testes are active with abundant sperm, and there is high expression of the G-protein-coupled oestrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) in several cell types, indicating intense spermatogenesis.
  • In contrast, the resting season sees a significant reduction in testicular weight, halting of sperm production, and a changed expression pattern of GPER1, suggesting its key role in regulating these seasonal reproductive cycles.

Biomed Phys Eng Express

December 2022

Laboratoire Traitement du Signal et de l'Image (LTSI), University Rennes, Inserm, LTSI-UMR 1099, Rennes, France.

More recently, a number of studies show the interest of the use of the Riemannian geometry in EEG classification. The idea is to exploit the EEG covariance matrices, instead of the raw EEG data, and use the Riemannian geometry to directly classify these matrices. This paper presents a novel Artificial Neural Network approach based on an Adaptive Riemannian Kernel, named ARK-ANN, to classify Electroencephalographic (EEG) motor imaging signals in the context of Brain Computer Interface (BCI).
