Brain-wide input-output analysis of tuberal nucleus somatostatin neurons reveals hierarchical circuits for orchestrating feeding behavior.

Nature communications
Feeding is an innate behavior critical for survival but is also influenced by many non-nutritional factors such as emotion, social context and environmental conditions. Recently, tuberal nucleus somatostatin (SST) neurons have been identified as a ke...

Incorporating sparse labels into hidden Markov models using weighted likelihoods improves accuracy and interpretability in biologging studies.

PloS one
Ecologists often use a hidden Markov model to decode a latent process, such as a sequence of an animal's behaviours, from an observed biologging time series. Modern technological devices such as video recorders and drones now allow researchers to dir...

Leveraging Social Media Data to Understand the Impact of COVID-19 on Residents' Dietary Behaviors: Observational Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted global devastation, infecting over 750 million and causing 6 million deaths. In an effort to control the spread of the virus, governments around the world implemented a variety of measures, including st...

Phytophagous, blood-suckers or predators? Automated identification of Chagas disease vectors and similar bugs using convolutional neural network algorithms.

Acta tropica
Correct identification of blood-sucking bugs, such as triatomines, is important because they are vectors of Chagas' disease. Identifying these insects is often difficult for non-specialists. Deep learning is emerging as a solution for automated ident...

Unique Microbial Characterisation of Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients with Different Dietary Habits Based on Light Gradient Boosting Machine Learning Classifier.

Nutrients
: The microbiome plays an important role in cancer, but the relationship between dietary habits and the microbiota in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is not clear. The aim of this study is to explore the complex relationship between the mi...

Machine learning for automated electrical penetration graph analysis of aphid feeding behavior: Accelerating research on insect-plant interactions.

PloS one
The electrical penetration graph (EPG) is a well-known technique that provides insights into the feeding behavior of insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts, mostly hemipterans. Since its inception in the 1960s, EPG has become indispensable in study...

Contemporary digital marketing techniques used in unhealthy food campaigns targeting young people.

Appetite
The digital marketing of unhealthy foods and non-alcoholic beverages has a detrimental impact on children's eating behaviours, leading to adverse diet-related health outcomes. To inform the development of evidence-based strategies to protect children...

A validity and reliability study of the artificial intelligence attitude scale (AIAS-4) and its relationship with social media addiction and eating behaviors in Turkish adults.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the use of the internet and social media. Billions of people worldwide use social media and spend an average of 2.2 h a day on these platforms. At the same time, artificial intelligence ...

An interpretable machine learning model with demographic variables and dietary patterns for ASCVD identification: from U.S. NHANES 1999-2018.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Current research on the association between demographic variables and dietary patterns with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is limited in breadth and depth. This study aimed to construct a machine learning (ML) algorithm that can accur...

Staying for food by urban birds: Insights from neural network analysis into adaptive strategies.

Environmental management
Previous work showed that animals have demonstrated remarkable adaptability by actively integrating into urban environments. However, there is no essential difference between urban and rural areas but food availability. The behavioral mechanisms and ...
