Neural Circuits

Neural Circuits

Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Background:

Behavioral and neurophysiological data suggest the brain performs optimal probabilistic inference and learning.
Existing machine learning algorithms offer optimal inference and learning but lack complete neural implementation descriptions.
Implementing optimal learning via synaptic plasticity in neural networks remains an underexplored area.

Purpose of the Study:

To unify probabilistic inference and synaptic plasticity by implementing a Helmholtz Machine using spiking neurons.
To demonstrate how a neural network can learn internal models and perform inference without supervision.
To investigate the impact of biophysical neural features on learning algorithm parameters and optimal performance.

Main Methods:

Developed a neuronal network of realistic model spiking neurons.
Implemented the Helmholtz Machine computational model and its wake-sleep algorithm.
Utilized a local delta learning rule for synaptic plasticity within the network.

Main Results:

The spiking-neuron network successfully learned an internal model of continuous-valued data without supervision.
The network demonstrated the capability to perform inference on learned internal models.
Identified how biophysical features constrain wake-sleep algorithm parameters and influence deviations from optimal performance.

Conclusions:

The proposed neural network provides a viable mechanism for implementing optimal learning and inference in the brain.
Synaptic plasticity rules and biophysical constraints significantly affect the network's learning efficiency and inferential accuracy.
This work bridges the gap between theoretical models of probabilistic inference and biological neural implementations.
