Generation Time01:22

Generation Time

184
Bacterial generation time, the period required for a bacterial population to double during its exponential growth phase, serves as a critical measure of microbial growth dynamics under optimal conditions. This parameter varies significantly across bacterial species and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the availability of nutrients. For example, Escherichia coli can achieve a generation time of approximately 20 minutes, while Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a much...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

16.4K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

4.1K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

133
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...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

3.2K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Reversible and Irreversible Processes01:14

Reversible and Irreversible Processes

4.4K
The thermodynamic processes can be classified into reversible and irreversible processes. The processes that can be restored to their initial state are called reversible processes. It is only possible if the process is in quasi-static equilibrium, i.e., it takes place in infinitesimally small steps, and the system remains at equilibrium However, these are ideal processes and do not occur naturally. An ideal system undergoing a reversible process is always in thermodynamic equilibrium within...

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Biological brains exhibit remarkable energy efficiency compared to artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Spike-based temporal codes are hypothesized to contribute to the brain's low energy consumption.
  • The presence and learning dynamics of these codes beyond the sensory cortex remain largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the implementation and evolution of energy-efficient temporal codes in the primary motor cortex (M1).
  • To explore whether non-task-specific neurons also adopt energy-efficient strategies during learning.
  • To understand the neural mechanisms underlying the refinement of these patterns through learning.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel brain-machine interface (BMI) paradigm.
  • Training two macaques to volitionally generate reproducible energy-efficient temporal patterns using M1 activity.
  • Analysis of neuronal firing rates and temporal precision in task-related and non-task-related neurons.

Main Results:

  • Macaques successfully learned to generate reproducible energy-efficient temporal patterns in M1 via the BMI.
  • Neurons not directly involved in BMI control maintained energy efficiency, without increased excitability.
  • Neuronal firing rates and temporal precision co-evolved during learning, indicating coordinated pattern refinement.

Conclusions:

  • Energy-efficient temporal coding is implementable and learnable in the primary motor cortex (M1).
  • Neural networks adapt cohesively to refine energy-efficient temporal patterns during learning.
  • This study provides insights into the neural basis of efficient computation in the brain, relevant for AI development.
