We propose a neural network method for turning emotion into art. Our approach relies on a class-conditioned generative adversarial network trained on a dataset of modern artworks labeled with emotions. We generate this dataset through a large-scale user study of art perception with human subjects. Preliminary results show our framework generates images which, apart from aesthetically appealing,...

Single-crystal n-type GaN nanowires have been grown epitaxially on a Mg-doped p-type GaN substrate. Piezoelectric nanognerators based on GaN nanowires are investigated by conductive AFM, and the results showed an output power density of nearly 12.5 mW/m(2). Luminous LED modules based on n-GaN nanowires/p-GaN substrate have been fabricated. CCD images of the lighted LED and the corresponding ele...

Guillain-Barré syndrome is divided into two major subtypes, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and acute motor axonal neuropathy. The characteristic electrophysiological features of acute motor axonal neuropathy are reduced amplitude or absence of distal compound muscle action potentials indicating axonal degeneration. In contrast, autopsy study results show early nodal changes in ...

The neurofilament light chain (NF-L) is a major constituent of intermediate filaments and plays a pivotal function in the assembly and maintenance of axonal cytoskeleton. Mutations in the NF-L gene (NEFL) cause autosomal dominant neuropathies that are classified either as axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) type 2E (CMT2E) or demyelinating CMT type 1F (CMT1F). The pathophysiological bases of the d...

Idiopathic CD4(+) T-lymphocytopenia is a rare immune disorder characterized by an unexplained deficit of CD4(+) T cells and results in various opportunistic infections. Herein, we report a case of new onset weakness in a 10-year-old boy secondary to motor axonal neuropathy associated with idiopathic CD4(+) T-lymphocytopenia. The patient was referred to rehabilitation for an evaluation of progre...

INTRODUCTION Campylobacter species represent the main cause of bacterial diarrhea in developed countries and one of the most frequent causes of enterocolitis in developing ones. In some patients, Campylobacter jejuni infection of the gastrointestinal tract has been observed as an antecedent illness of acute motor axonal neuropathy, a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION We pr...

Although paraneoplastic subacute sensory neuronopathy is the most frequent presentation of peripheral neuropathy in patients with anti-Hu antibodies, other neuropathies have been reported. In order to investigate the clinical and electrophysiological manifestations of neuropathies associated with anti-Hu antibodies, we conducted a retrospective study of 20 patients. For the electrophysiological...
