Dopamine Modulation in a Basal Ganglio-cortical Network Implements Saliency-based Gating of Working Memory
Dopamine exerts two classes of effect on the sustained neural activity in prefrontal cortex that underlies working memory. Direct release in the cortex increases the contrast of p...

Modeling and controllability for a class of hybrid mechanical systems
Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...
