Raichle. Our results further the understanding of the information processing mechanism of the visual nervous system.Synaptic transmission is the key system for the information transfer and elaboration among neurons. Nevertheless, a synapse is not a standing alone structure but it is a part of a population of synapses inputting the information from several neurons on a specific area of the dendritic tree of a single neuron. This population consists of excitatory and inhibitory synapses the inputs of which drive the postsynaptic membrane potential in the depolarizing (excitatory synapses) or depolarizing (inhibitory synapses) direction modulating in such a way the postsynaptic membrane potential. The postsynaptic response of a single synapse depends on several biophysical factors the most important of which is the value of the membrane potential at which the response occurs. The concurrence in a specific time window of inputs by several synapses located in a specific area of the dendritic tree can, consequently, modulate the membrane potential such to severely influence the single postsynaptic response. The degree of modulatlitude of the different components forming the postsynaptic excitatory response.Energy supply plays a key role in metabolism and signal transmission of biological individuals, neurons in a complex electromagnetic environment must be accompanied by the absorption and release of energy. In this paper, the discharge mode and the Hamiltonian energy are investigated within the Izhikevich neuronal model driven by external signals in the presence of electromagnetic induction. It is found that multiple electrical activity modes can be observed by changing external stimulus, and the Hamiltonian energy is more dependent on the discharge mode. In particular, there is a distinct shift and transition in the Hamiltonian energy when the discharge mode is switched quickly. Furthermore, the amplitude of periodic stimulus signal has a greater effect on the neuronal energy compared to the angular frequency, and the average Hamiltonian energy decreases when the discharge rhythm becomes higher. Based on the principle of energy minimization, the system should choose the minimum Hamiltonian energy when maintaining various trigger states to reduce the metabolic energy of signal processing in biological systems. Therefore, our results give the possible clues for predicting and selecting appropriate parameters, and help to understand the sudden and paroxysmal mechanisms of epilepsy symptoms.The indexes of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), can usually be measured by evaluating the slope and/or magnitude of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs). So far, the process depends on manually labeling the linear portion of fEPSPs one by one, which is not only a subjective procedure but also a time-consuming job. In the present study, a novel approach has been developed in order to objectively and effectively evaluate the index of synaptic plasticity. Firstly, we introduced an expert system applying symbolic rules to discard the contaminated waveform in an interpretable way, and further generate supervisory signals for subsequent seq 2seq model based on neural networks. For the propose of enhancing the system generalization ability to deal with the contaminated data of fEPSPs, we employed long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Finally, the comparison was performed between the automatically labeling system and manually labeling system. These results show that the expert system achieves an accuracy of 96.22% on Type-I labels, and the LSTM supervised by the expert system obtains an accuracy of 96.73% on Type-II labels. Compared to the manually labeling system, the hybrids system is able to measure the index of synaptic plasticity more objectively and efficiently. The new system can reach the level of the human expert ability, and accurately produce the index of synaptic plasticity in a fast way.Deep learning techniques have recently made considerable advances in the field of artificial intelligence. These methodologies can assist psychologists in early diagnosis of mental disorders and preventing severe trauma. Major Depression Disorder (MDD) is a common and serious medical condition whose exact manifestations are not fully understood. So, early discovery of MDD patients helps to cure or limit the adverse effects. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is prominently used to study brain diseases such as MDD due to having high temporal resolution information, and being a noninvasive, inexpensive and portable method. This paper has proposed an EEG-based deep learning framework that automatically discriminates MDD patients from healthy controls. First, the relationships among EEG channels in the form of effective brain connectivity analysis are extracted by Generalized Partial Directed Coherence (GPDC) and Direct directed transfer function (dDTF) methods. A novel combination of sixteen connectivity methods (GPDC ad as a diagnostic tool is able to help clinicians for diagnosing the MDD patients for early diagnosis and treatment.Driver fatigue is the one of the main reasons of the traffic accidents. The human brain is a complex structure, whose function can be evaluated with electroencephalogram (EEG). Automated driver fatigue detection utilizing EEG decreases the incidence probability of related traffic accidents.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/SRT1720.html  Therefore, devising an appropriate feature extraction technique and selecting a competent classification method can be considered as the crucial part of the effective driver fatigue detection. Therefore, in this study, an EEG-based intelligent system was devised for driver fatigue detection. The proposed framework includes a new feature generation network, which is implemented by using texture descriptors, for fatigue detection. The proposed scheme contains pre-processing, feature generation, informative features selection and classification with shallow classifiers phases. In the pre-processing, discrete cosine transform and fast Fourier transform are used together. Moreover, dynamic center based binary pattern and multi threshold ternary pattern are utilized together to create a new feature generation network.
