The neuronal multiunit model presented here is a formal model of the central pattern generator (CPG) of the amphibian ventilatory neural network, inspired by experimental data from Pelophylax ridibundus. The kernel of the CPG consists of three pacema...
Reservoir computing is a biologically inspired class of learning algorithms in which the intrinsic dynamics of a recurrent neural network are mined to produce target time series. Most existing reservoir computing algorithms rely on fully supervised l...
This paper studies the fixed-time anti-synchronization (FTAS) of discontinuous reaction-diffusion neural networks (DRDNNs) with both time-varying coefficients and time delay. First, differential inclusion theory is used to deal with the influence cau...
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 ...
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...
