Antagonism of the chloride-cotransport system in hippocampal slices has been shown to block spontaneous epileptiform (i.e., hypersynchronized) discharges without diminishing excitatory synaptic transmission. Here we test the hypotheses that chloride-cotransport blockade, with furosemide or low-chloride (low-[Cl(-)](o)) medium, desynchronizes the firing activity of neuronal populations and that ...

BACKGROUND The observation of action done by others determines a desynchronization of the rhythms recorded from cortical central regions. Here, we examined whether the observation of different types of hand movements (target directed, non-target directed, cyclic and non-cyclic) elicits different EEG cortical temporal patterns. METHODOLOGY Video-clips of four types of hand movements were shown...

We assess empirically the role that uncertainty plays as a determinant of business cycle synchronization dynamics in European Monetary Union. Using time-varying measure and Bayesian model averaging methods, we find increase tends to robustly predict desynchronization, particular for countries whose cycles are not line with those rest monetary union.

Most existing works on synchronization in complex networks concern the synchronizability and its dependence on network topology. While there has also been work on desynchronization wave patterns in networks that are regular or nearly regular, little is known about the dynamics of synchronous patterns in complex networks. We find that, when a complex network becomes desynchronized, a giant clust...

Authentication protocols are often used in smart grids to deliver the necessary level of security. A huge number clients such a system, however, provides attacker with ability clone them, for example. Device fingerprints, or Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF), have been investigated as an authentication feature thwart attacks. In order accomplish security grid neighborhood area network commu...
