چکیده

For more than two decades, neuroscientists have debated the role of "gain fields" in sensorimotor transformations. In this issue of Neuron, Chang et al. demonstrate a tight correlation between eye and hand position gain fields in the "parietal reach region," strongly suggesting that they play a functional role in computing the reach command.

Self-Fields Effects on Gain in a Helical Wiggler Free Electron Laser with Ion-Channel Guiding and Axial Magnetic Field

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of self-fields on gain in a helical wiggler free electron laser with axial magnetic field and ion-channel guiding. The self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a relativistic electron beam passing through a helical wiggler are analyzed. The electron trajectories and the small signal gain are derived. Numerical investigation is shown that for grou...

Dosimetric Comparison of Two Craniospinal Radiotherapy Techniques for Treatment Optimization

Introduction: Orthogonal radial fields are those in which the central axes are perpendicular to each other. An example of these orthogonal fields is the set of craniospinal orthogonal fields that are used for radiotherapy of medulloblastoma. Craniospinal radial fields consist of two parallel-opposed fields for brain exposure and one or two posterior spinal fields for spinal cord exposure. The m...

Cancers of the Brain and CNS: Global Patterns and Trends in Incidence

Miranda-Filho et al. in their recently published paper entitled “Cancers of the brain and CNS: global patterns and trends in incidence” provided a global status report of the geographic and temporal variations in the incidence of brain and CNS cancers in different countries across continents worldwide. While the authors confirm the role of genetic risk factors and ionizing radiation exposur...

A Six-step Approach to Gain Higher Quality Results From ‎Organotypic Hippocampal Brain Slices in a Traumatic Brain ‎Injury Model

Background: Organotypic Hippocampal Brain Slices (OHBS) provide a better alternative to in vivo models to scrutinize Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). We followed a well-established TBI protocol but noticed that several factors might influence the results in such a set-up. Here, we describe a structured approach to generate more comparable results and discuss why specific eligibility criteria shoul...

Stability Proof of Gain-Scheduling Controller for Skid-to-Turn Missile Using Kharitonov Theorem

Gain scheduling is one of the most popular nonlinear control design approaches which has been widely and successfully applied in fields ranging from aerospace to process control. Despite the wide application of gain scheduling controllers, there is a notable lack of analysis on the stability of these controllers. The most common application of these kinds of controllers is in the field of fligh...
