Not exact matches

In a second segment, Tracy Bedrosian of the Neurotechnology Innovations Translator talks about how the amount of time spent being licked by mom might be linked to changes in the genetic code of hippocampal neurons in mice pups.

Their model is validated against the coding properties of real neurons by means of their location in what the authors call the «coding space.»

Each cell in the image (both neurons and the support cells known as glia) was color - coded by hand, a process that took 150 hours.

Neurons in the hippocampus code smooth changes in the shape of a room by an abrupt change from a firing pattern characteristic of one distinct shape category to another.

By using «artificial neurons» — essentially lines of code, software — with neural network models, they can parse out the various elements that go into recognizing a specific place or object.

He mentioned mouse studies by Chris Fiorillo, now at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), who inserted genetic sequences that code for a light - sensitive protein called channelrhodopsin - 2 into dopamine - producing neurons of mice.

In a paper published in PLOS Computational Biology in May, computational neuroscientists in the United Kingdom and Australia found that when neural networks using an algorithm for sparse coding called Products of Experts, invented by Hinton in 2002, are exposed to the same abnormal visual data as live cats (for example, the cats and neural networks both see only striped images), their neurons develop almost exactly the same abnormalities.

If this view is correct, meaningful messages might be conveyed not just by hordes of neurons screaming in unison but by a small group of cells whispering, perhaps in a terse temporal code.

Summary: Recent advances in systems neuroscience have motivated a shift of perspective on neural code from static single - neuron codes such as tuning functions to codes that are governed by structure and dynamics of population activity.
