REHABILITATION OF THE HAND IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AFTER BRAIN DAMAGE by Tina Bregant, Patricija Šinkovec, Renata Pavlinič

“…Since the reorganisation and plasticity of the cortex and corticospinal cord are important for the recovery of function, while the unfavourable plasticity and excessive excitability of the reticulospinal cord probably cause most of the problems, we describe these plasticity processes in more detail. …”

A Single Electrode Organic Neuromorphic Device for Dopamine Sensing in Vivo by Federico Rondelli, Michele Di Lauro, Gioacchino Calandra Sebastianella, Anna De Salvo, Matteo Genitoni, Mauro Murgia, Pierpaolo Greco, Carolina Giulia Ferroni, Riccardo Viaro, Luciano Fadiga, Fabio Biscarini

“…Nevertheless, interesting properties of organic (semi‐)conductors are usually neglected in the development of (bio‐)sensors. Among these, the non‐linear response when operated under dynamic biasing conditions (i.e., with pulsed driving voltages), thus mimicking synaptic plasticity phenomena, offers promising and largely unexplored possibilities for bio‐sensing. …”
