    • Brain Potentials Reflect Behavioral Differences in True and False Recognition 

      Curran, Tim; Schacter, Daniel L.; Johnson, Marcia K.; Spinks, Ruth (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2001)
      People often falsely recognize nonstudied lures that are semantically similar to previously studied words. Behavioral research suggests that such false recognition is based on high semantic overlap between studied items ...

    • The Brain's Default Network: Updated Anatomy, Physiology, and Evolving Insights 

      Buckner, Randy; DiNicola, Lauren (Springer Nature, 2019-09-06)
      Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that demand external attention and are active during ...

      Neelamegam, Ramesh; Ricq, Emily Louise; Malvaez, Melissa; Patnaik, Debasis; Norton, Stephanie; Carlin, Stephen M.; Hill, Ian Thomas; Wood, Marcelo A.; Haggarty, Stephen John; Hooker, Jacob M (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)
      Modulation of histone modifications in the brain may represent a new mechanism for brain disorder therapy. Post-translational modifications of histones regulate gene expression, affecting major cellular processes such as ...

    • Brain-wide mapping of neural activity controlling zebrafish exploratory locomotion 

      Dunn, Timothy W; Mu, Yu; Narayan, Sujatha; Randlett, Owen; Naumann, Eva A; Yang, Chao-Tsung; Schier, Alexander F; Freeman, Jeremy; Engert, Florian; Ahrens, Misha B (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2016)
      In the absence of salient sensory cues to guide behavior, animals must still execute sequences of motor actions in order to forage and explore. How such successive motor actions are coordinated to form global locomotion ...

    • The Braincase of Eocaecilia micropodia (Lissamphibia, Gymnophiona) and the Origin of Caecilians 

      Maddin, Hillary Catherine; Jenkins, Farish A., Jr.; Anderson, Jason S. (Public Library of Science, 2012-11-30)
      The scant fossil record of caecilians has obscured the origin and evolution of this lissamphibian group. Eocaecilia micropodia from the Lower Jurassic of North America remains the only stem-group caecilian with an almost ...

    • BranchyNet: Fast inference via early exiting from deep neural networks 

      Teerapittayanon, Surat; McDanel, Bradley; Kung, H. T. (IEEE, 2017)
      Deep neural networks are state of the art methods for many learning tasks due to their ability to extract increasingly better features at each network layer. However, the improved performance of additional layers in a deep ...

    • Brane brick models in the mirror 

      Franco, Sebastián; Lee, Sangmin; Seong, Rak-Kyeong; Vafa, Cumrun (Springer Verlag, 2017)
      Brane brick models are Type IIA brane configurations that encode the 2d N = (0, 2) gauge theories on the worldvolume of Dl-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. We use mirror symmetry to improve our understanding of ...

    • Brane couplings from bulk loops 

      Georgi, Howard; Grant, Aaron K.; Hailu, Girma (Elsevier BV, 2001)
      We compute loop corrections to the effective action of a field theory on a fivedimensional S1/Z2 orbifold. We find that the quantum loop effects of interactions in the bulk produce infinite contributions that require ...

    • Brauchen wir eine Ökomusikwissenschaft? 

      Rehding, Alexander (Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH, 2012)
      While ecomusicology is clearly a growth area in musicology, its mission and purview are not entirely clear. This article explores the complex relationship between ecology and musicology: ecocriticism in literary and visual ...

    • Braveheart, a Long Noncoding RNA Required for Cardiovascular Lineage Commitment 

      Klattenhoff, Carla A.; Scheuermann, Johanna C.; Surface, Lauren E.; Bradley, Robert K.; Fields, Paul A.; Steinhauser, Matthew L.; Ding, Huiming; Butty, Vincent L.; Torrey, Lillian; Haas, Simon; Abo, Ryan; Tabebordbar, Mohammadsharif; Lee, Richard Theodore; Burge, Christopher B.; Boyer, Laurie A. (Elsevier BV, 2013)
      Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are often expressed in a development-specific manner, yet little is known about their roles in lineage commitment. Here, we identified Braveheart (Bvht), a heart-associated lncRNA in mouse. ...
