Optimizing dance motion reconstruction using a two-dimensional matrix approach with hybrid genetic and fuzzy logic differential evolution by Lin Wang, Yutong Liu, Yucong Geng, Mohammad Khishe

“…We develop the Two-Dimensional Matrix-Calculation (TDMC) model, combined with the Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Fuzzy Logic Differential Evolution (HGA-FLDE), which aims to optimize the reconstruction of complex dance movements by leveraging Riemannian geometry and adaptive optimization for biomechanical nonlinear motion patterns and missing joint data. Furthermore, accuracy is achieved through other approaches, such as the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Kinect Sensors (KS), and Evolved Deep Gated Recurrent Unit (EDGRU) models, which were all thoroughly tested against one another. …”

Cranial radiation disrupts dopaminergic signaling and connectivity in the mammalian brain by Die Zhang, Riya Thomas, Thanh Thai Lam, Ines Veselinovic, David R. Grosshans

“…Here, with using in vivo multi-electrode array recordings of both anesthetized and free-moving rats to monitor the firing activities of dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and local field potentials in both the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and VTA, as well as the immunofluorescence assays and western blotting, we report that cranial irradiation transiently altered VTA dopamine neuron firing patterns without affecting overall firing rates and led to sustained reductions in both “awake” and total dopamine neuron density. …”
