Two major theoretical models, Direct Mapping and Functional Equivalence, suggest that the observation of action and imagery of action, respectively, involve activation of similar motor related areas. Despite the wealth of evidence that supports...
Collateral sprouting (CS) occurs when uninjured axons respond to denervated tissue surrounding the axon by growing branches of the axon to reinnervate the denervated zone. This process is signaled by factors released by the denervated tissue. Nerve...
The classification of self-dual codes has been an extremely active area in
coding theory since 1972 [33]. A particularly interesting class of self-dual codes
is those of Type II which have high minimum distance (called extremal or...
