Getting drowsy? Alert/nonalert transitions and visual thalamocortical network dynamics.
The effects of different EEG brain states on spontaneous firing of cortical populations are not well understood. Such state shifts may occur frequently under natural conditions, and baseline firing patterns can impact neural coding (e.g., signal-to-noise ratios, sparseness of coding). Here, we examine the effects of spontaneous transitions from alert to nonalert awake EEG states in the rabbit v...
متن کاملVisual thalamocortical circuits in parvalbumin-deficient mice.
The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) is considered as the visual gateway to the visual cortex (VC) and sends collaterals to the thalamic reticular nucleus (RTN) that in turn receives collaterals of the corticofugal feedback projections. At all levels of this thalamocortical circuit there are GABAergic neurons expressing the calcium-buffer parvalbumin (PV). The present study reports for ...
متن کاملDrowsy Caches
On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potential to increase power consumption. As feature sizes shrink, the dominant component of this power loss will be leakage. However, during a fixed period of time the activity in a cache is only centered on a small subset of t...
متن کاملPhosphorylation network dynamics in the control of cell cycle transitions.
Fifteen years ago, it was proposed that the cell cycle in fission yeast can be driven by quantitative changes in the activity of a single protein kinase complex comprising a cyclin - namely cyclin B - and cyclin dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1). When its activity is low, Cdk1 triggers the onset of S phase; when its activity level exceeds a specific threshold, it promotes entry into mitosis. This model...
متن کاملTitle of dissertation : PHASE TRANSITIONS IN COMPLEX NETWORK DYNAMICS
Title of dissertation: PHASE TRANSITIONS IN COMPLEX NETWORK DYNAMICS Shane Squires, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Michelle Girvan Department of Physics Two phase transitions in complex networks are analyzed. The first of these is a percolation transition, in which the network develops a macroscopic connected component as edges are added to it. Recent work has sh...
