On cross-frequency phase-phase coupling between theta and gamma oscillations in the hippocampus
01/10/2017
Phase-locking of hippocampal theta and gamma waves has been proposed to support memory formation, but an analysis using robust statistical methods finds no convincing evidence for the phenomenon.
Machine Learning Algorithms for Automatic Classification of Marmoset Vocalizations
09/29/2016
In this work, we consider seven different classification algorithms
with the goal of finding a robust classifier that can be successfully trained on small datasets.
Rats Synchronize Locomotion with Ultrasonic Vocalizations at the Subsecond Time Scale
09/29/2016
Acoustic signals have the potential for transmitting information fast across distances. Rats emit ultrasonic vocalizations of two distinct classes: “22-kHz” or “alarm” calls and “50-kHz” calls.
A Naturalistic Assessment of the Organization of Children’s Memories Predicts Cognitive Functioning and Reading Ability
08/05/2016
To explore the relationship between memory and early school performance, we used graph theory to investigate memory reports from 76 children aged 6–8 years. The reports comprised autobiographical memories of events days to years past, and memories of novel images reported immediately...
S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase as predictors of cognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a prospective observational study
07/15/2016
The study aims to evaluate the association between POCD and serum levels of S100B and NSE after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG).
Novel Virtual Environment for Alternative Treatment of Children with Cerebral Palsy
07/12/2016
In this paper, we describe a virtual environment for patients to engage in a playful therapeutic game for neuropsychomotor rehabilitation, based on the experience of the occupational therapy program of the Nucleus for Integrated Medical Assistance (NAMI) at the University of Fortaleza,...
