متن کاملDoes Complex Learning Require Complex Connectivity?
Small World and Scale Free network properties characterize many real complex phenomena. We assume that low level connectivity with such topological properties, e.g., anatomical or functional connectivity in brains, is compulsory to achieve high level cognitive functionality, as language. The study of these network properties provides tools to approach different issues in behavior based Artifici...
متن کاملCarney Complex: Eleven Open Heart Operations in a Single Family
Herein, we report on a family with Carney complex. Four members of the family underwent a total of 11 open heart operations as well as 9 other operations to treat extrathoracic masses. All the family members met at least 2 major clinical criteria and 1 supplemental criterion. We analyzed their genomic loci, including the protein kinase A regulatory subunit 1 gene. The results revealed no specif...
