The recent discovery of the head-direction (HD) system in fruit flies has provided unprecedented
insights into the neural mechanisms of spatial orientation. Despite the progress, the …

Spiking neural networks (SNN) are regarded by many as the “third generation network” that
will solve computation problems in a more biologically realistic way. In our project, we …

Spatial orientation memory plays a crucial role in animal navigation. Recent studies of
tethered Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) in a virtual reality setting showed that the head …

Identifying the direction of signal flows in neural networks is important for understanding the
intricate information dynamics of a living brain. Using a dataset of 213 projection neurons …

Spatial orientation plays a crucial role in animal navigation. Recent studies of tethered 16
Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) in a virtual reality setting showed that the 17 orientation is …

Background: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is the potential imaging modality to accurately
evaluate local invasion and perirectal lymph nodes in rectal cancer. However, overstaging of …

In this study, we propose a new design of a dielectric-coated concave hemicylindrical mirror
for efficient generation of a reflective photonic hook (PH). Numerical approaches based on …

Various optical components employed in biomedical applications have been fabricated
using spider silk because of its superior properties, such as elasticity, tensile strength, …

Spider silks are expected to become biocompatible and bioresorbable optical fibers, which
can be utilized to transfer localized optical energy for various biomedical applications such …

… Huang et al. considered a highly charged soft particle by employing the full nonlinear
Poisson–Boltzmann equation. They found that the presence of a charged wall generates an …
