DoGNet: A deep architecture for synapse detection in multiplexed fluorescence images.

PLoS computational biology
Neuronal synapses transmit electrochemical signals between cells through the coordinated action of presynaptic vesicles, ion channels, scaffolding and adapter proteins, and membrane receptors. In situ structural characterization of numerous synaptic ...

Multiple tracking and machine learning reveal dopamine modulation for area-restricted foraging behaviors via velocity change in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Neuroscience letters
Food exploration is an essential survival behavior in organisms. To find food efficiently, many organisms use a foraging strategy called area-restricted search (ARS) wherein individuals first turn more frequently, restricting their search to one area...

Electrical stimulation in a spiking neural network model of monkey superior colliculus.

Progress in brain research
The superior colliculus (SC) generates saccades by recruiting a population of cells in its topographically organized motor map. Supra-threshold electrical stimulation in the SC produces a normometric saccade with little effect of the stimulation para...

How do "robopets" impact the health and well-being of residents in care homes? A systematic review of qualitative and quantitative evidence.

International journal of older people nursing
BACKGROUND: Robopets are small animal-like robots which have the appearance and behavioural characteristics of pets.

Classification of cow milk using artificial neural network developed from the spectral data of single- and three-detector spectrophotometers.

Food chemistry
Spectra data from two instruments (UV-Vis/NIR and FT-NIR) consisting of three and one detectors, respectively, were employed in order to discriminate the geographical origin of milk as a way to detect adulteration. Initially, principal component anal...

Number detectors spontaneously emerge in a deep neural network designed for visual object recognition.

Science advances
Humans and animals have a "number sense," an innate capability to intuitively assess the number of visual items in a set, its numerosity. This capability implies that mechanisms to extract numerosity indwell the brain's visual system, which is primar...

Multi-Dimensional Mapping of Brain-Derived Extracellular Vesicle MicroRNA Biomarker for Traumatic Brain Injury Diagnostics.

Journal of neurotrauma
The diagnosis and prognosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is complicated by variability in the type and severity of injuries and the multiple endophenotypes that describe each patient's response and recovery to the injury. It has been challenging t...

Mobile Robot Path Planning Using Ant Colony Algorithm and Improved Potential Field Method.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
For the problem of mobile robot's path planning under the known environment, a path planning method of mixed artificial potential field (APF) and ant colony optimization (ACO) based on grid map is proposed. First, based on the grid model, APF is impr...

Prediction of Orthosteric and Allosteric Regulations on Cannabinoid Receptors Using Supervised Machine Learning Classifiers.

Molecular pharmaceutics
Designing highly selective compounds to protein subtypes and developing allosteric modulators targeting them are critical considerations to both drug discovery and mechanism studies for cannabinoid receptors. It is challenging but in demand to have c...

Self-supervised learning of the biologically-inspired obstacle avoidance of hexapod walking robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, we propose an integrated biologically inspired visual collision avoidance approach that is deployed on a real hexapod walking robot. The proposed approach is based on the Lobula giant movement detector (LGMD), a neural network for loom...
