چکیده

The hippocampal formation (HF) contains a neural representation of the environment, based on the activity of several classes of neurons whose firing is tuned to an animal's position and orientation in space. Recently, work has begun on understanding when and how this neural map of space emerges during development. Different classes of spatially tuned neurons emerge at different ages, some of them very early during development, before animals have started exploring their environment. The developmental timeline thus far uncovered has yielded insights into both the mechanisms of the ontogeny of the neural code for space, as well as how this system functions in the adult.

Neuron Mathematical Model Representation of Neural Tensor Network for RDF Knowledge Base Completion

In this paper, a state-of-the-art neuron mathematical model of neural tensor network (NTN) is proposed to RDF knowledge base completion problem. One of the difficulties with the parameter of the network is that representation of its neuron mathematical model is not possible. For this reason, a new representation of this network is suggested that solves this difficulty. In the representation, th...

P22: The Effect of Maternal Stress on the Hippocampal Neural Death in the Newborns Rats

Early life stress during fetal development has been hypothesized to predispose several neurological and psychiatric disorders in adulthood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of maternal stress on the volume of granular cells, total number of dark neurons and also the distribution of glycol-conjugates and changes of terminal sugars in the dentate gyrus. Pregnant Sprague-Daw...

High neuronal/astroglial differentiation plasticity of adult rat hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells in response to the effects of embryonic and adult cerebrospinal fluids

Hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (hipp-NS/PCs) of the adult mammalian brain are important sources of neuronal and gial cell production. In this study, the main goal is to investigate the plasticity of these cells in neuronal/astroglial differentiations. To this end, the differentiation of the hipp-NS/PCs isolated from 3-month-old Wistar rats was investigated in response to the embryonic...

مدل شبکه ی عصبی از نگاشت سلول‌های شبکه به سلول‌های مکانی

Abstract: Medial entorhinal cortex is known to be the hub of a brain system for navigation and spatial representation. These cells increase firing frequency at multiple regions in the environment, arranged in regular triangular grids. Each cell has some properties including spacing, orientation, and phase shift of the nodes of its grid. Entorhinal cortex is commonly perceived to be the major in...
