The NanoZoomer artificial intelligence connectomics pipeline for tracer injection studies of the marmoset brain.

Brain structure & function
We describe our connectomics pipeline for processing anterograde tracer injection data for the brain of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). Brain sections were imaged using a batch slide scanner (NanoZoomer 2.0-HT) and we used artificial intell...

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Continuous Attractors.

Neural computation
Continuous attractors have been used to understand recent neuroscience experiments where persistent activity patterns encode internal representations of external attributes like head direction or spatial location. However, the conditions under which ...

Population coupling predicts the plasticity of stimulus responses in cortical circuits.

eLife
Some neurons have stimulus responses that are stable over days, whereas other neurons have highly plastic stimulus responses. Using a recurrent network model, we explore whether this could be due to an underlying diversity in their synaptic plasticit...

Dendrite P systems.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
It was recently found that dendrites are not just a passive channel. They can perform mixed computation of analog and digital signals, and therefore can be abstracted as information processors. Moreover, dendrites possess a feedback mechanism. Motiva...

Neuronal mechanisms for sequential activation of memory items: Dynamics and reliability.

PloS one
In this article we present a biologically inspired model of activation of memory items in a sequence. Our model produces two types of sequences, corresponding to two different types of cerebral functions: activation of regular or irregular sequences....

Noise can speed backpropagation learning and deep bidirectional pretraining.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
We show that the backpropagation algorithm is a special case of the generalized Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for iterative maximum likelihood estimation. We then apply the recent result that carefully chosen noise can speed the average con...

Extracting boolean and probabilistic rules from trained neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
This paper presents two approaches to extracting rules from a trained neural network consisting of linear threshold functions. The first one leads to an algorithm that extracts rules in the form of Boolean functions. Compared with an existing one, th...

Learning in the machine: To share or not to share?

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Weight-sharing is one of the pillars behind Convolutional Neural Networks and their successes. However, in physical neural systems such as the brain, weight-sharing is implausible. This discrepancy raises the fundamental question of whether weight-sh...

Before and beyond the Wilson-Cowan equations.

Journal of neurophysiology
The Wilson-Cowan equations represent a landmark in the history of computational neuroscience. Along with the insights Wilson and Cowan offered for neuroscience, they crystallized an approach to modeling neural dynamics and brain function. Although th...
