Understanding the relation between the structure of brain networks and their functions is a
fundamental open question. Simple models of neural activity based on real anatomical …

Human infants acquire language with notable ease compared to adults, but the neural basis
of their remarkable brain plasticity for language remains little understood. Applying a …

By characterizing the time evolution of COVID-19 in term of its' velocity'(log of the new cases
per day) and its rate of variation, or'acceleration', we show that in many countries there has …

The ability to solve complex tasks relies on the adaptive changes occurring in the spatio-temporal
organization of brain activity under different conditions. Altered flexibility in these …

Understanding the relation between brain architecture and function is one of the central issues
in neuroscience nowadays. In the last few years, important efforts have been devoted to …

Background Targeted amplicon sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene is one of the
key tools for studying microbial diversity. The accuracy of this approach strongly depends on …

Abnormal levels of microRNA (miR)-155, which regulate inflammation and immune responses,
have been demonstrated in the colonic mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel …
