The traditional theory of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) memory system asserts that the primate MTL (hippocampus, perirhinal, entorhinal and parahippocampal cortices) is exclusively involved in consolidating declarative memories. However, several recent reports have directly challenged this dogma by arguing that MTL structures also contribute to perception. Controversy remains as many of the be...

The nature and extent of retrograde amnesia in patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is currently under debate. While some investigators propose a temporally limited role for the MTL in episodic and semantic memory, others claim that MTL structures are needed for e t m o m r ©

Early neuroimaging studies often failed to obtain evidence of medial temporal lobe (MTL) activation during episodic encoding or retrieval, but a growing number of studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have provided such evidence. We review data from fMRI studies that converge on the conclusion that posterior MTL is associated with epis...

Background: Since the high dimensionality of gene expression microarray data set hurts generalization performance of classifiers, feature selection has been widely used in the bioinformatics field, which selects relevant features and discards irrelevant and redundant features. While redundant features contain useful information, so multi-task learning is a novel technique to improve prediction ...

The aim of this work is to introduce the concepts of IMTL-filters and strong MTL-filters in MTL-algebras and show that these filters are related to IMTL-algebras and strong MTL-algebras, respectively. We also introduce the concepts of EIMTL and associative filters in MTL-algebras. The relationships between these filters and quotient algebras that are constructed via these filters are described....

BACKGROUND Direct electrical stimulation applied to the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) typically disrupts performance on memory tasks, however, the mechanism underlying this effect is not known. OBJECTIVE To study the effects of MTL stimulation on memory performance. METHODS We studied the effects of MTL stimulation on memory in five patients undergoing invasive electrocorticographic moni...

Acoustic scene classification (ASC) and sound event detection (SED) are major topics in environmental analysis. Considering that acoustic scenes events closely related to each other, the joint analysis of using multitask learning (MTL)-based neural networks was proposed some previous works. Conventional methods train MTL-based models a linear combination ASC SED loss functions with constant wei...

The mannitol transporter EII(mtl) from Escherichia coli is responsible for the uptake of mannitol over the inner membrane and its concomitant phosphorylation. EII(mtl) is functional as a dimer and its membrane-embedded C domain, IIC(mtl), harbors one high affinity mannitol binding site. To characterize this domain in more detail the microenvironments of thirteen residue positions were explored ...

The representation of autobiographical memory is distributed over a network of brain structures, with the medial temporal lobe (MTL) at its epicenter. Some believe that, over time, all memories become independent of their MTL component ("consolidation theories"). Others have suggested that this is true only of semantic memory, while episodic aspects of autobiographical memories are dependent on...

The Map Reduce paradigm is now considered a standard platform that is used for large-scale data processing and management. A major operation that the Map Reduce platform relies on greatly is tasks scheduling. Although many schedulers have been presented, task scheduling is still one of the major problems that face Map Reduce frameworks. Schedulers need to maintain data locality to achieve an ac...
