Expansion-Assisted Iterative-Fish Defines Lateral Hypothalamus Spatio-Molecular Organization

Structural Organization of the Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is a functionally diverse region of the forebrain which exerts profound regulatory influences over physiological and behavioural processes essential for survival. It possesses extensive synaptic connections with other regions of the nervous system and is the region of the brain responsible for controlling the functional activity of the pituitary gland. An essential feature of i...

The organization of amygdalopetal projections from the lateral hypothalamus and preoptic area in the rat.

In the light of physiological data it is certain that there is a close functional correlation between the amygdaloid body and the hypo-thalamus and preoptic area. These areas are vital for emotional reactions and affect drives and endocrinal functions. A damage of amygdaloid nuclei causes changes in behavior very similar to those following partial lesions of the hypothalamus and preoptic area (...

Iterative-Expansion A

In this paper we describe an improvement to the popular IDA* search algorithm that emphasizes a different spacefor-time trade-off than previously suggested. In particular, our algorithm, called Iterative-Expansion A* (IEA*), focuses on reducing redundant node expansions within individual depth-first search (DFS) iterations of IDA* by employing a relatively small amount of available memory— boun...

ically-assisted maxillary expansion

A combined surgical and orthodontic technique for management of transverse maxillary deficiencies in mature patients is described and discussed. Special references are made to the surgical release of several circummaxillary articulations to facilitate the use of a fixed expansion device, and to the authors’ addition of an osteotomy below the nasal spine, to ensure that the nasal septum remains ...
