Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

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.

Adaptability of Cytoskeletal Filaments

Adaptability of Cytoskeletal Filaments

The cytoskeleton is a complex dynamic structure performing varied functions based on cellular requirements. The adaptability of the individual filaments in the cytoskeleton determines their ability to perform various functions within the cell. It can undergo rapid reorganization during processes like cell division or remain stable for several hours as in the interphase. The adaptability of these filaments depends on stringent regulatory mechanisms. The microfilament and microtubules of the...

Area of Science:

Computational neuroscience
Artificial intelligence
Bio-inspired computing

Background:

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) lack temporal dynamics and efficient communication, unlike biological neurons that use sparse binary spikes.
Existing Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) often use high firing rates, diverging from biological efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) that match Artificial Neural Network (ANN) performance using biologically plausible firing rates.
To introduce a novel neural coding mechanism for efficient and temporally dynamic computation.

Main Methods:

Utilized spike-based coding based on the firing rate adaptation phenomenon in biological neurons.
Derived the effective transfer function for fast-adapting spiking neuron models.
Integrated adaptive spiking neurons directly into ANN architectures to create Adaptive SNNs (AdSNNs).

Main Results:

AdSNNs achieve performance comparable to high-performance ANNs and exceed state-of-the-art SNNs on benchmarks.
The developed model requires biologically realistic firing rates.
Demonstrated dynamic control of coding precision, with a model of arousal halving firing rates.

Conclusions:

Adaptive SNNs (AdSNNs) offer a sparsely active, efficient model for neural computation.
AdSNNs are suitable for temporally continuous and asynchronous applications.
This approach bridges the gap between artificial and biological neural computation.
