A neural network that finds a naturalistic solution for the production of muscle activity.

Nature neuroscience
It remains an open question how neural responses in motor cortex relate to movement. We explored the hypothesis that motor cortex reflects dynamics appropriate for generating temporally patterned outgoing commands. To formalize this hypothesis, we tr...

Automated tracing of myelinated axons and detection of the nodes of Ranvier in serial images of peripheral nerves.

Journal of microscopy
The development of realistic neuroanatomical models of peripheral nerves for simulation purposes requires the reconstruction of the morphology of the myelinated fibres in the nerve, including their nodes of Ranvier. Currently, this information has to...

Machine learning reveals sex-specific 17β-estradiol-responsive expression patterns in white perch (Morone americana) plasma proteins.

Proteomics
With growing abundance and awareness of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the environment, there is a need for accurate and reliable detection of EDC exposure. Our objective in the present study was to observe differences within and between th...

A Further Study on Mining DNA Motifs Using Fuzzy Self-Organizing Maps.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Self-organizing map (SOM)-based motif mining, despite being a promising approach for problem solving, mostly fails to offer a consistent interpretation of clusters with respect to the mixed composition of signal and noise in the nodes. The main reaso...

Analysis of the human diseasome using phenotype similarity between common, genetic, and infectious diseases.

Scientific reports
Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model organisms, as are s...

Compressed Sensing Reconstruction of 3D Ultrasound Data Using Dictionary Learning and Line-Wise Subsampling.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In this paper we present a compressed sensing (CS) method adapted to 3D ultrasound imaging (US). In contrast to previous work, we propose a new approach based on the use of learned overcomplete dictionaries that allow for much sparser representations...

Effect of uterine size on fertility of lactating dairy cows.

Theriogenology
There are multiple reasons for reduced fertility in lactating dairy cows. We hypothesized that one cause of reduced fertility could be the overall size of the reproductive tract, particularly the uterus, given well-established uterine functions in ma...

Design of wormlike automated robotic endoscope: dynamic interaction between endoscopic balloon and surrounding tissues.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The current design of capsule endoscope is limited by the inability to control the motion within gastrointestinal tract. The rising incidence of gastrointestinal cancers urged improvement in the method of screening endoscopy.

Simple Algorithms for Distributed Leader Election in Anonymous Synchronous Rings and Complete Networks Inspired by Neural Development in Fruit Flies.

International journal of neural systems
Leader election in anonymous rings and complete networks is a very practical problem in distributed computing. Previous algorithms for this problem are generally designed for a classical message passing model where complex messages are exchanged. How...
