Comparative evaluation of spline-based and Laplace-based interpolation for joint torque field reconstruction: a simulation study

Accurate interpolation of joint torque fields across joint angle combinations is essential in experimental and clinical biomechanics. Although thin-plate spline (TPS) interpolation is widely used, its exact interpolation property renders it sensitive to outliers. The present stud...

Role of Astrocytes in Central Respiratory Control

Astrocytes, once regarded primarily as structural and metabolic support cells, are now increasingly recognized as active participants in neural information processing. Within respiratory control networks, astrocytes are widely distributed throughout the brainstem and spinal cord,...
