Asymmetrical circuits reduce anxiety

Distributed circuits underlying anxiety

Anxiety is of paramount importance for animals, as it allows assessment of the environment while minimizing exposure to potential threats. Furthermore, anxiety disorders are highly prevalent. Consequently, the neural circuitry underlying anxiety has been a topic of great interest. In this mini review, we will discuss current views on anxiety circuits. We will focus on rodent anxiety paradigms, ...

Using triazolam to reduce dental anxiety.

Triazolam, commonly prescribed to treat insomnia, also can be used to reduce dental anxiety. Despite controversial reports in the lay press, triazolam can be used safely at low doses for short periods. The authors review research concerning the drug's safety and discuss its use in dentistry.

Asymmetrical Interactions and Asymmetrical Constraints

The three approaches to too-many-solutions problems discussed in the previous chapter do not treat them as symptomatic of significant generalizations about input-output mappings rather than outputs. Because this systematic challenge to OT is not recognized, previous attacks on these problems, apart from de Lacy's general proposal, see them as an assortment of individual difficult cases and anal...

How asymmetrical before it's asymmetrical?

BDD Techniques to Reduce Switching Activity in Logic Circuits

This paper presents several techniques to synthesize logic circuits for low power based on split BDDs. The objective is to generate 2-input multiplexer circuits with reduced switching activity, since switching activity is an important contribution to power dissipation. Keywords— switching activity, BDDs, cofactor.
