Alwyn Scott How Smart is a Neuron ?

In the United States, automatic numerical computation stems from the Second World War, where the need to calculate artillery trajectories led to the development of the world’s first general purpose electronic computer, called the ENIAC (for electronic numerical integrator and calculator). Switched on in the summer of 1945, this machine employed 17,468 vacuum tubes connected by half a million so...

Freeman K-set

Figure 1: A. Topological hierarchy of K-sets, in which (+) means excitation and (means ns inhibition. B. Simulated impulse responses for open loop (interactions are suppressed by anesthesia), mutual excitation (KIe), and negative feedback (KII). C. Experimental open loop impulse response fitted with solution to an ODE representing the dynamics of an ensemble of neurons made non-interactive by a...

Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome

Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) is a rare inherited form of distal arthrogryposis characterized by craniofacial deformities, camptodactyly with ulnar deviation of the fingers, and talipes equinovarus. Less than hundred cases have been reported till 2010 [1-3]. Multiple surgical interventions are needed to provide an acceptable quality of life. Anesthetic complications occur commonly [4, 5]. We p...
