Relapse after intermittent access to cocaine: Discriminative cues more effectively trigger drug seeking than do conditioned cues

Author(s): Ndiaye NA; Shamleh SA; Casale D; Castaneda-Ouellet S; Laplante I; Robinson MJF; Samaha AN;

Rationale: When people with drug addiction encounter cues associated with drug use, this can trigger cravings and relapse. These cues can include conditioned stimuli (CSs) signaling drug delivery and discriminative stimuli (DSs) signaling drug availability. Compared to CS effects, DS effects are ...

The experimental multi-arm pendulum on a cart: A benchmark system for chaos, learning, and control

Author(s): Kaheman K; Fasel U; Bramburger JJ; Strom B; Kutz JN; Brunton SL;

The single, double, and triple pendulum has served as an illustrative experimental benchmark system for scientists to study dynamical behavior for more than four centuries. The pendulum system exhibits a wide range of interesting behaviors, from simple harmonic motion in the single pendulum to chaotic dynamics in multi-arm pendulums. Under forcing, even t ...

Inter-protein residue covariation information unravels physically interacting protein dimers

Author(s): Salmanian S; Pezeshk H; Sadeghi M;

Background: Predicting physical interaction between proteins is one of the greatest challenges in computational biology. There are considerable various protein interactions and a huge number of protein sequences and synthetic peptides with unknown interacting counterparts. Most of co-evolutionary methods discover a combination of physical interplays and f ...
