Encoding

Encoding

Information enters the brain through encoding, which is the input of information into the memory system. Once sensory information is received from the environment, the brain labels or codes it. The information is then organized with similar information and connected to existing concepts. Encoding occurs through automatic processing and effortful processing.
Automatic processing involves the encoding of details like time, space, frequency, and the meaning of words, usually done without conscious...

Polymer Classification: Architecture

Polymer Classification: Architecture

Polymers are classified as linear or branched on the basis of their chain architecture. The polymer chains in linear polymers have a long chain-like structure with minimal to no branching at all. Even if a polymer features large substituent groups on the monomer, which appear as branches to the skeleton, it is not considered a branched polymer. A branched polymer contains secondary polymer chains that arise from the main polymer chain. The branching occurs when the polymer growth shifts from...

What is Behavior?

What is Behavior?

Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Feedback Loops

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Neural Regulation

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Open and closed-loop control systems

Open and closed-loop control systems

Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

Background:

Mammalian brain anatomy and dynamics present complex computational challenges.
Existing artificial neural networks have limitations in generalizing brain functions.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel artificial neural network architecture inspired by mammalian brain structures.
To demonstrate the network's capability in performing cognitive tasks and replicating brain activity.

Main Methods:

Designed a new artificial neural network with a topological structure of interacting loop motifs.
Simulated a single loop for gating mechanisms and a series of four loops for a delayed-response task.
Compared simulation results with electrophysiological data from monkey brains.

Main Results:

The loop-based neural network successfully implemented gating and passed a simplified delayed-response task.
The network's activity patterns mimicked electrophysiological measurements from primate brains.
Established potential connections between this novel network and existing recurrent and long short-term memory models.

Conclusions:

The proposed loop-based neural network architecture offers a new paradigm for modeling brain functions.
This model demonstrates potential for advancing artificial intelligence research and understanding cognitive processes.
Further generalization of this network could lead to more sophisticated AI systems.
