A LAYERED CONTROL ARCHITECTURE OF SLEEP AND AROUSAL

A Layered Control Architecture of Sleep and Arousal

Sleep and wakefulness are promoted not by a single neural pathway but via wake or sleep-promoting nodes distributed across layers of the brain.We equate each layer with a brain region in proposing a layered subsumption model for arousal based on a computational architecture.Beyond the brainstem the layers include the diencephalon (hypothalamus, tha

Existence and Uniqueness of Positive Periodic Solutions for a Delayed Predator-Prey Model with Dispersion and Impulses

OTHER Bags An impulsive Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey model with prey dispersal in two-patch environments and time delays is investigated, where we assume the model of patches with a barrier only as far as the prey population is concerned, whereas the predator population has no barriers between patches.By applying the continuation theorem of co
