In this paper, we look at the performance of a time-delay neural network in a scenario requiring memory as well as reactivity. Utilizing a ball catching scenario where the agent will have to move to catch a falling ball, ...

(2010-07-14)The circuits that allow organisms to control behavioral timing need to be tightly regulated to ensure execution of appropriate environmental responses. Disrupting such regulation results in individuals unable to perform ...
-
(2012-02-14)The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with its sequenced genome, compact nervous system and stereotyped behaviors is an ideal model organism in which to study the integration of sensory input with motor output. Male mating ...

(2013-09-25)Mercury is a well-known neurotoxicant. In its elemental form, mercury is easily distributed into the atmosphere due to its relatively low boiling point. Once elemental mercury becomes airborne it can travel long distances ...

(2013-02-04)Calcium ion (Ca2+) homeostasis is a critical component normal neuronal development. Abnormal Ca2+ concentrations can disrupt neuron development and nervous system function and lead to various neurological disorders, such ...

The neuromolecular mechanisms that coordinate food availability with C. elegans male sexual behavior (2009-05-15)Organisms must coordinate behavioral and physiological responses to changingenvironmental conditions. In the nematode C. elegans, the presence or absence of foodin the environment affects many metabolic and behavioral ...

(2016-08-09)Mammalian circadian rhythms are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. While neural circuits influence SCN entrainment, cells within the SCN also act as individual oscillators. Research on ...

(2020-05-13)The triarchic model describes psychopathy as comprised of three traits: boldness (low negative affect, sensation seeking), meanness (antagonism, poor attachment), and disinhibition (low emotional and behavioral constraint). ...
