Effects of visual deprivation on epileptic activity in mature rat visual cortex
Effects of visual deprivation on the induction of epileptiform activity were studied in layer II/III of mature rat primary visual cortex. Field potentials were evoked by stimulation of layer IV in slices from control and dark-reared (OR) rats. Picrotoxin (PTX)-induced epileptic activity was characterized by spontaneous and evoked epileptic field potentials (EFPs). The results showed that OR s...
متن کاملFeature Extraction of Visual Evoked Potentials Using Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition
Introduction: Brain visual evoked potential (VEP) signals are commonly known to be accompanied by high levels of background noise typically from the spontaneous background brain activity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Material and Methods: A model based on dyadic filter bank, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and singular value decomposition (SVD) was developed to analyze the raw data...
متن کاملHow (not) to assess the importance of correlations for the matching of spontaneous and evoked activity: a response
Neuronal population activity is often characterized experimentally by the distribution of multineuron “words” (binary firing vectors). Previous studies have described ways to analyse the structure of multineuron word distributions in terms of pairwise correlations between individual spike trains. In recent work, we approached this question from an alternative perspective, in which population ra...
متن کاملInm-6: Abortion and Infertility
Background: The maximum probability of conceiving during a menstrual cycle is only about 40%. One third of conceptions do not result in the delivery of a baby recurrent miscarriage, defined as the loss of 3 or more pregnancies before 20 weeks post-menstruation that affects 1% of all women. Approximately 20 percent of pregnant women will have some bleeding before 20 weeks’ gestation, and roughly...
متن کاملEvaluating Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis: The Relative Impact of Patient Age, Activity Level, Symptoms, and Kellgren-Lawrence Grade on Treatment
Background: It is not always clear how to treat glenohumeral osteoarthritis, particularly in young patients. The goals ofthis study were to 1) quantify how patient age, activity level, symptoms, and radiographic findings impact the decisionmakingof shoulder specialists and 2) evaluate the observer reliability of the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system forprimary osteoarthritis of the shoulder...
