Power Consumption During Neuronal Computation

Morphine Consumption During Lactation Impairs Short-Term Neuronal Plasticity in Rat Offspring CA1 Neurons

Background: Facing environmental factors during early postnatal life, directly or indirectly via mother-infant relationships, profoundly affects the structure and function of the mammals’ Central Nervous System (CNS). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of morphine consumption during the lactation period on short-term synaptic plasticity of the hippocampal Cornu Ammonis 1 (C...

Styles of Neuronal Computation

ABS 1RAC r Neurons seldom serve as relay stations ; they typically transform their inputs in some manner to produce a new output function . A conventional processing path Within a neuron includes a cascaded series of steps, each capable of contributing characteristic styles of computation : passive spread of PSPs to a spike trigger zone, spike initiation and repetitive firing, spike propagation...

Power wheelchair range testing and energy consumption during fatigue testing.

The range of a power wheelchair depends on many factors including: battery type, battery state, wheelchair/rider weight, terrain, the efficiency of the drive train, and driving behavior. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of three methods of estimating power wheelchair range. Another significant purpose was to compare the current draw on pavement to current draw on an Int...

Reducing Power Consumption During Online and Offline Testing

Dedicated to my beloved family v Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Prof. Nur A. Touba for his continuous support and guidance during the course of my PhD. I have always admired his clarity of thought and command over the subject and understanding. The high standards he sets for research are an inspiration for me. I would like to thank Prof. Margarida MacDonald for agreeing to be ...
