Complex dendrites in general present formidable challenges to understanding neuronal information processing. To circumvent the difficulty, a prevalent viewpoint simplifies the neuronal morphology as a point representing the soma, and the excitatory a...
In ant colonies, collectivity enables division of labour and resources with great scalability. Beyond their intricate social behaviours, individuals of the genus Odontomachus, also known as trap-jaw ants, have developed remarkable multi-locomotion me...
Despite the rapid increase in the number and applications of plankton imaging systems in marine science, processing large numbers of images remains a major challenge due to large variations in image content and quality in different marine environment...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and nanotechnology are two fields that are instrumental in realizing the goal of precision medicine-tailoring the best treatment for each cancer patient. Recent conversion between these two fields is enabling better patie...
Digital reconstruction or tracing of 3D neuron is essential for understanding the brain functions. While existing automatic tracing algorithms work well for the clean neuronal image with a single neuron, they are not robust to trace the neuron surrou...
The ovary is a complex endocrine organ that shows significant structural and functional changes in the female reproductive system over recurrent cycles. There are different types of follicles in the ovarian tissue. The reproductive potential of each ...

When using aggressive undersampling, it is difficult to recover the high quality image with reliably fine features. In this paper, we propose an enhanced recursive residual network (ERRN) that improves the basic recursive residual network with a high...
Sequence based DNA-binding protein (DBP) prediction is a widely studied biological problem. Sliding windows on position specific substitution matrices (PSSMs) rows predict DNA-binding residues well on known DBPs but the same models cannot be applied ...
Histopathology requires the expertise of specialists to diagnose morphological features of cells and tissues. Raman imaging can provide additional biochemical information to benefit histological disease diagnosis. Using a dietary model of nonalcoholi...
A neuron's firing correlates are defined as the features of the external world to which its activity is correlated. In many parts of the brain, neurons have quite simple such firing correlates. A striking example are grid cells in the rodent medial e...
