Modulation of perineuronal nets and parvalbumin with developmental song learning.

12 Oct 2009 Neural circuits and behavior are shaped during developmental phases of maximal plasticity known as sensitive or critical periods. Neural correlates of sensory critical periods have been identified, but their roles remain unclear. Factors that define ... Read more...

Identification of epistasis in ischemic stroke using multifactor dimensionality reduction and entropy decomposition.

28 Sep 2009 We investigated the genetic associations of ischemic stroke by identifying epistasis of its heterogeneous subtypes such as small vessel occlusion (SVO) and large artery atherosclerosis (LAA). Epistasis was analyzed with 24 genes in 207 controls and ... Read more...

Extracting the causality of correlated motions from molecular dynamics simulations.

14 Sep 2009 The information theory measure of transfer entropy is used to extract the causality of correlated motions from molecular dynamics simulations. For each pair of correlated residues, the method quantifies which residue drives the correlated motions, ... Read more...
