WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- U.S. scientists have identified the first bit of evidence of a molecular mechanism by which long-term memories are encoded in a region of the brain. In a study published Thursday in the latest edition of the journal Neuron, neuroscientists from the Massachuset...
Identify the part of the cerebrum or cerebellum stem from the given function: Responsible for autonomic (involuntary) functions. The Brainstem: "Cerebellum stem" is not a commonly accepted name for any structure of the brain. However, the br...
Neurodegeneration, or the gradual loss of neuron function, is one of the key features of Alzheimer's disease. However, it doesn't affect all parts of the brain equally.
where scientists watch which parts of the brain are active as volunteers perform cognitive tasks. But the imaging studies capture the activity of many thousands of neurons. In contrast, Williams and his colleagues recorded the computations ofindividual neurons—a standard preparatory...
To facilitate identification of this new cell type, an end-to-end automated electrophysiology pipeline was developed that extracts relevant parameters and determines striatal neuron identity using neural-network based classifiers. These data and the software tool will permit other investigators to identify...
Structure of a Peripheral Neuron: A peripheral neuron consists of nerve fibers (axons) that are surrounded by various layers of connective tissue. A delicate connective tissue known as the epineurium surrounds the whole nerve, perineurium surrou...
Functional genomic methods are needed that consider multiple genetically correlated traits. Here we develop and validate Transcriptome-wide Structural Equation Modeling (T-SEM), a multivariate method for studying the effects of tissue-specific gene expre
We applied four transfer learning models to the proposed dataset. To train the models we used pretrained weights of the models and then added one global average pooling, two dense with 512 and 256 neuron. Subsequently, a dropout layer with a value of 0.3. Finally, an output layer with numbe...
high-resolution sensors incorporated under its transparent “skin.” The sensors, which use a camera and LEDs to gather visual information about an object’s shape, provide continuous sensing along the finger’s entire length. Each finger captures rich data on many parts of an object ...
Our emotional state is governed partly by a tiny brain structure known as the amygdala, which is responsible for processing positive emotions such as happiness, and negative ones such as fear and anxiety.
