The hardware implementation of the system is based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It is shown that the experimental results are identical with numerical simulations, and the chaotic trajectories are much more complex.展开更多

Adaptive changes within spared neuronal circuits may occur at cortical, brainstem, or spinal cord level, both above and below a spinal lesion （Bareyre et al., 2004）. At each level the reorganization is a very dynamic process, and its degree is highly variable, depending on several factors, including the age of the subject when SCI has occurred and the rehabilitative therapy. The use of electrophysiological techniques to assess these functional changes in neural networks is of great interest, because invasive methodologies as employed in preclinical models can obviously not be used in clinical studies.展开更多

Recently, researchers have shown five parallel fronto-subcortical circuits integrating and segregating information from the frontal cortex to basal ganglia. Understanding the relationship between the fronto-subcortical circuit dysfunctions and neurodegenerative diseases requires studying the functional anatomy and neurochemical basis involved.<strong> Conclusions:</strong> In this view, it is essential to review the functional anatomy of the fronto-subcortical network, and it’s correlated with clinical aspects to pursuing a better therapeutic approach.展开更多

The prevalence and considerable impact of this disorder call for a better understanding of its pathophysiology to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Though productive animal models and pathophysiological theories have been documented, it is still very far to uncover the complex array of symptoms caused by depression. Moreover, the neural circuitry mechanism underlying behavioral changes in some depression-like behavior animals is still limited. Changes in the neural circuitry of amygdala, dorsal raphe nucleus, ventral tegmental area, hippocampus, locus coeruleus and nucleus accumbens are related to depression. However, the interactions between individual neural circuitry of different brain areas, have not yet been fully elucidated. The purpose of the present review is to examine and summarize the current evidence for the pathophysiological mechanism of depression, with a focus on the neural circuitry, and emphasize the necessity and importance of integrating individual neural circuitry in different brain regions to understand depression.展开更多
