Assimilation of ASCAT Radar Backscatter Coefficients over Southwestern France

In this work, Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) backscatter data are directly assimilated into the interactions between soil, biosphere, and atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model using Meteo-France’s global Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS-M...

Network dynamics underlying OFF responses in the auditory cortex

Across sensory systems, complex spatio-temporal patterns of neural activity arise following the onset (ON) and offset (OFF) of stimuli. While ON responses have been widely studied, the mechanisms generating OFF responses in cortical areas h...

A coordinated and enhanced brain network supports the persistence of long-term cocaine memory

Abstract The persistence of drug memories accounts for the high risk of drug relapse, which is a major challenge in the treatment of substance use disorders. However, the neurobiological underpinnings, especially the dynamic changes of brai...
