lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

9.8K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.3K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Neural Regulation01:37

Neural Regulation

43.3K
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.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness01:14

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.5K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Primary and Secondary Growth in Roots and Shoots

60.3K
Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Area of Science:

  • Systems Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • The primary visual cortex (V1) is crucial for initial cortical image processing.
  • Understanding V1 neuron responses to natural images, including simple and complex cells, remains a challenge.
  • Existing knowledge gaps hinder a complete understanding of V1's image encoding mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a predictive model for V1 neuron firing rates in response to natural visual stimuli.
  • To bridge the gap in understanding how V1 neurons encode visual information.

Main Methods:

  • Trained deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to predict V1 neuron firing rates.
  • Utilized a dataset of 355 V1 neurons responding to natural image stimuli.
  • Benchmarked CNN performance against various other predictive models.

Main Results:

  • CNNs achieved high correlations between predicted and actual V1 neuron firing rates across all neurons.
  • Prediction accuracy improved for more active neurons (firing rates > 5 Hz).
  • The CNN model outperformed other benchmark models in predicting neuron firing rates.

Conclusions:

  • Deep convolutional neural networks offer a powerful tool for predicting V1 neuron activity.
  • This approach significantly enhances our understanding of image encoding in the primary visual cortex.
  • Accurate prediction is achievable for both orientation-selective and non-orientation-selective V1 neurons.
