In the past decade, the field of systems neuroscience has increasingly relied on genetic tools to dissect complex neural circuits. Tools such as optogenetics and pharmacogenetics afford neuroscientists the ability to manipulate specific neural populations to investigate their role in various behavioral processes. A growing problem in the field has arisen from the quantification of such behavior...

A novel method to efficiently synthesize hardware from a large behavioral description in behavioral synthesis is proposed. For a program with functions executable in parallel, this proposed method determines a behavioral partitioning which simultaneously minimizes the overall datapath area and the complexity of the controller while maximizing performance of a synthesized circuit by fully exploi...

How does it work? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral treatment approach with two key characteristics: a behavioral, problem-solving focus blended with acceptance-based strategies, and an emphasis on dialectical processes. "Dialectical" refers to the issues involved in treating patients with multiple disorders and to the type of thought processes and behavioral styles u...

objective: various approaches have been offered for resolution of pain resulting from spinal cord injuries. one approach is the use of herbal and natural products. in the present research, as a preliminary study, we investigate the effect of crocin on chronic pain induced by contusion in the rat spinal cord (sci). methods: we randomly divided female wistar rats into five groups. groups i and ii...
