Dopamine modulates persistent synaptic activity and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio in the prefrontal cortex. by Sven Kroener, L Judson Chandler, Paul E M Phillips, Jeremy K Seamans

“…When the background DA was eliminated by depleting DA with reserpine and alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine, or by preparing corticolimbic co-cultures without the VTA slice, Up-states could be enhanced by low concentrations (0.1-1 microM) of DA that had no effect in the VTA containing cultures. Finally, in spite of the concentration-dependent effects on Up-states, exogenous DA at all but the lowest concentrations increased intracellular current-pulse evoked firing in all cultures underlining the complexity of DA's effects in an active network.…”

Optimization of the defense forces personnel under mobilization conditions: The role of occupational selection as a personnel allocator by V. V. Kalnysh, A. V. Shvets

“…The second problem is the age aspect in the ranges of 20-30, 30-40 and 40-60 years, for which it is necessary to develop and apply the criteria of occupational suitability for each of the currently relevant professions. A generalized definition of the psychological readiness state was formulated as a stable, multifaceted and hierarchically structured result of preparation for a certain activity, which contains a number of subsystems adequate to the requirements, content and conditions of the activity. …”

Classification of finger movements through optimal EEG channel and feature selection by Murside Degirmenci, Yilmaz Kemal Yuce, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Yalcin Isler

“…IntroductionElectrencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have become popular as EEG is accepted as the simplest and non-invasive neuroimaging modality to record the brain's electrical activity. In the current BCI research context, apart from predicting extremity movements, recent BCI studies have been interested in accurately predicting finger movements of the same hand using different pattern recognition methods over EEG data collected based on motor imagery (MI), through which a mental image of the desired action is generated when a person ideally simulates or imagines carrying out a certain motor task. …”
