While astrocytes have been traditionally described as passive supportive cells, studies during the last decade have shown they are active players in many aspects of CNS physiology and function both in normal and disease states. However, the precise m...
BACKGROUND: The evaluation of histological tissue samples plays a crucial role in deciphering preclinical disease and injury mechanisms. High-resolution images can be obtained quickly however data acquisition are often bottlenecked by manual analysis...

We trained two spiking neural networks (SNNs), the cortical spiking network (CSN) and the cortical neuron-astrocyte network (CNAN), using a spike-based unsupervised method, on the MNIST and alpha-digit data sets and achieve an accuracy of 96.1% and 7...

Postcardiac arrest syndrome yields poor neurological outcomes, but the mechanisms underlying this condition remain poorly understood. Autophagy plays an important role in neuronal apoptosis induced by ischemia. However, whether autophagy is involved ...
Astrocytes are involved in various brain pathologies including trauma, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, or chronic pain. Determining cell density in a complex tissue environment in microscopy images an...
Learning of sensory cues is believed to rely on synchronous pre- and postsynaptic neuronal firing. Evidence is mounting that such synchronicity is not merely caused by properties of the underlying neuronal network but could also depend on the integri...

The essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation from the hairy roots (HR) and roots of soil-grown plants (SGR) of and were analyzed by GC-MS method. In the both essential oils 62 compounds were identified. The root essential oils showed the di...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of YKL-40 that serve as biomarker of neuroinflammation are known to be altered along the clinico-biological continuum of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The specific structural cerebral correlates of CSF YKL-40 were...

It has been shown that brain-like self-repair can arise from the interactions between neurons and astrocytes where endocannabinoids are synthesized and released from active neurons. This retrograde messenger feeds back to local synapses directly and ...
From biological and artificial network perspectives, researchers have started acknowledging astrocytes as computational units mediating neural processes. Here, we propose a novel biologically inspired neuron-astrocyte network model for image recognit...
