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.

Neural Circuits

1.5K
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...

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence...

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

533
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Correlation and Causation01:27

Correlation and Causation

38.3K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
Synarthrosis

Area of Science:

  • Causal inference
  • Machine learning in statistics
  • Econometrics

Background:

  • Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting (AIPW) is a two-step method for estimating the Average Treatment Effect (ATE).
  • Model misspecification in the first step led to the adoption of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms.
  • Complex ML models can violate positivity assumptions and inflate variance in AIPW estimators due to perfect predictions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate controlling ML algorithm complexity in ATE estimation.
  • To explore the impact of confounders and Instrumental Variables (IVs) on ML-based ATE estimators.
  • To provide recommendations for using Neural Networks (NNs) in ATE estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two NN architectures with L1-regularization on specific parameters.
  • Investigated hyperparameter tuning for NNs in the presence of confounders and IVs.
  • Evaluated bias-variance tradeoff for ATE estimators, including AIPW.

Main Results:

  • Simulation results demonstrated the effect of hyperparameter tuning on ATE estimator performance.
  • Identified strategies to mitigate perfect prediction issues in treatment models.
  • Showcased the potential of regularized NNs for robust ATE estimation.

Conclusions:

  • Controlling ML complexity is crucial for reliable AIPW-based ATE estimation.
  • Proper hyperparameter tuning of NNs can achieve a favorable bias-variance tradeoff.
  • NNs, when carefully implemented, offer a promising approach for ATE estimation in complex settings.
