Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling chaos in the brain
TL;DR: In a spontaneously bursting neuronal network in vitro, chaos can be demonstrated by the presence of unstable fixed-point behaviour, and chaos control techniques can increase the periodicity of such neuronal population bursting behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized trial of cerebrospinal fluid shunt valve design in pediatric hydrocephalus.
James M. Drake,John R. W. Kestle,Ruth Milner,Giuseppe Cinalli,Frederick A. Boop,Joseph H. Piatt,Stephen J. Haines,Steven J. Schiff,D. Douglas Cochrane,Paul Steinbok,Nancy MacNeil +10 more
TL;DR: Cerebrospinal fluid shunt failure, predominantly from shunt obstruction and infection, remains a persistent problem in pediatric hydrocephalus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronization and desynchronization in epilepsy: controversies and hypotheses
Premysl Jiruska,Premysl Jiruska,Premysl Jiruska,Marco de Curtis,John G. R. Jefferys,Catherine A. Schevon,Steven J. Schiff,Kaspar Schindler +7 more
TL;DR: Recent work has identified cell‐type‐specific inhibitory and excitatory interactions, the dichotomy between neuronal firing and the non‐local measurement of local field potentials distant to that firing, and the reflection of the neuronal dark matter problem in non‐firing neurons active in seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting dynamical interdependence and generalized synchrony through mutual prediction in a neural ensemble
TL;DR: Dynamical interdependence, perhaps generalized synchrony, was identified in this neuronal network between simultaneous single unit firings, between units and the population, and betweenunits and intracellular EPSP’s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Follow-Up Data from the Shunt Design Trial
John R. W. Kestle,James M. Drake,Ruth Milner,C. Sainte-Rose,Giuseppe Cinalli,Frederick A. Boop,Jr. Joseph H. Piatt,Stephen J. Haines,Steven J. Schiff,D. Douglas Cochrane,Paul Steinbok,N. MacNeil +11 more
TL;DR: Prolonged follow-up to date does not alter the primary conclusions of the trial: there does not appear to be one valve that is clearly the best for the initial treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus.
