Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are inhibitory extracellular matrix molecules that are upregulated after CNS injury. Degradation of CSPGs using the enzyme chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) can promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms underlying this recovery are not clear. Here we investigated the effects of ChABC treatment on promoting plasticity within ...

In this paper, we investigate the causality in sense of Granger for functional time series. The concept series is defined, and a statistical procedure testing hypothesis non-causality proposed. based on projections dynamic principal components use multivariate test. A comparative study with existing procedures shows good results our An illustration real dataset provided to attest performance pr...

To determine the state of functional development in the newborn kitten's somatic sensory system, the organization of mechanoreceptive projections to the sensorimotor cortex was compared to that of the adult cat. Microelectrode mapping procedures were used. Projections from all contralateral body surfaces to the primary somatomotor cortex (Sml ) are present at birth and respond to mechanical sti...

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) exerts top-down control of primary visual cortex (V1) activity. As there is no direct neuronal projection from mPFC to V1, this functional connection may use an indirect route, i.e., via basalo-cortical cholinergic projections. The cholinergic projections to V1 originate from neurons in the horizontal limb of the diagonal band of Broca (HDB), which receive ne...

There are recent results concerning the boundedness and also unboundedness of Bergman projections on weighted spaces unit disc in special cases rapidly decreasing weights, i.e. “large” spaces. The aim our paper is to show that largely exceptional: general unbounded. In addition we give a new, more functional analytic proof for known central case which enables us transfer harmonic

Recently, necessary conditions of stability for time-delay systems based on the handling Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional have been studied in literature giving rise to a new paradigm. Interestingly, condition developed by Gomez et al. has proven be sufficient. It is presented as simple positivity test matrix issued from Lyapunov matrix. The present paper proposes an extension this result, where ...

This paper proposes the use of neutral reference models to detect local emotional prominence in the fundamental frequency. A novel approach based on functional data analysis (FDA) is presented, which aims to capture the intrinsic variability of F0 contours. The neutral models are represented by a basis of functions and the testing F0 contour is characterized by the projections onto that basis. ...
