Temporal derivative computation in the dorsal raphe network revealed by an experimentally driven augmented integrate-and-fire modeling framework

By means of an expansive innervation, the serotonin (5-HT) neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) are positioned to enact coordinated modulation of circuits distributed across the entire brain in order to adaptively regulate behavior.Yet the network computations that emerge from the excitability and connectivity features of the DRN are still poo

Fusion Splicing and Testing of Photonic Crystal Fibers

Properties of two different photonic crystal fibers (PCF) were characterized, enabling comparisons.Properties investigated included spectral attenuation, Dresses polarization mode dispersion (PMD), optical time domain reflectometer characteristics, elastooptic factor describing transmission delay induced by axial strain plus effects of temperature
