Eight constructs decellularized hearts by coronary perfusion with detergents, preserved the underlying extracellular matrix, and produced an acellular, perfusable vascular architecture, competent a cellular valves and intact chamber geometry that could generate pump function in a modified working heart preparation.

An unexpected functional role for sniffing is suggested and sensory codes can be transformed by sampling behavior alone is shown, suggesting an adaptive filter for detecting changes in the odor landscape.
Seizure prediction with spectral power of EEG using costāsensitive support vector machines
A patientāspecific algorithm for seizure prediction using multiple features of spectral power from electroencephalogram (EEG) and support vector machine (SVM) classification is proposed.
Synchronization in hybrid neuronal networks of the hippocampal formation.
The results imply that excitatory SCs, but not inhibitory O-LM interneurons, are capable of synchronizing in phase via monosynaptic mutual connections of the biologically appropriate polarity.

This mathematical description explains how specific changes in the topology or synaptic strength in the model cause transitions from normal to seizing and then to bursting, which appear to be general properties of excitatory networks.

The feasibility of extending phase response curve methods to predict the synchronization properties of stellate cells in the rat entorhinal cortex under broader conditions is explored and it is found that models based on weak coupling account for scaling and Poisson process-driven inputs reasonably accurately.

The identified bundle contains afferent fibers primarily from the ventral hippocampus but does not include contributions from the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus, amygdala, or lateral hypothalamus/medial forebrain bundle, which provides the necessary groundwork for the characterization of the hippocampal pathway projecting to the mPFC.

This chapter considers many of the complicating factors that arise when generating PRCs for real neurons or ārealisticā model neurons and describes an alternative method to generate PRCs using small amplitude white noise stimuli.

Modulation of neuronal activity in these experiments was readily observed at field strengths < or = 5-10 mV/mm and in vivo application of these results may be feasible.
Synchronization from Second Order Network Connectivity Statistics

The synchrony analysis takes advantage of the framework of second order networks, which defines four second order connectivity statistics based on the relative frequency of two-connection network motifs, and identifies two of them, convergent connections, and chain connections, as highly influencing the synchrony.
