However, with the exception of the LISSOM-like model of ref. [40], alternative models do not simulate explicit, modifiable lateral weights, and so could not reveal an emergent connectivity between directional representations that span many supra-barrels (as in Fig. 3c).
During these training trials, only stable grasps were positively reinforced and all modifiable connection weights (dashed arrows in Fig. 4) were subject to learning.
We have chosen Izhikevich's simple neuron model [38], [39] a stochastically driven neural network with modifiable synaptic weighting that provides biologically relevant spikes that can then be analyzed using GC.
As BMI is modifiable through weight control, its identification as a prognostic factor would provide another intervention by which to improve the prognosis of PFP sufferers, and hence should be further investigated.
As body weight is a modifiable lifestyle factor, weight control throughout life appears to be useful in BC.
Its treatment should focus on identifying and treating modifiable causes of weight loss.
Beyond a reduction in adiposity, changes in other modifiable factors, including weight control, or use of NSAIDs, may help to decrease levels of acute-phase inflammatory proteins.
Moreover, additional insights on the most important modifiable predictors of weight outcomes should help health care providers focus on enhancing abilities and skills of participants in relevant, change-worthy, cognitive-behavioral domains.
To assess the absolute risk of the participants, non-modifiable risk factors (age, sex, height, personal history of ischaemic heart disease and diabetes, history of ischaemic heart disease in parents) and modifiable risk factors (weight, smoking, blood pressure, instant cholesterol) were entered into the PRECARD program.
Increased body weight is a potentially modifiable risk factor; controlling weight could help reduce the risk of maternal complications such as preeclampsia.
