Numerous approaches address over-fitting in neural networks: by imposing a penalty on the parameters of network (L1, L2, etc.); changing stochastically (drop-out, Gaussian noise, or transforming input data (batch normalization, etc.). In contrast, we aim to ensure that minimum amount supporting evidence is present when fitting model training data. This, at single neuron level, equivalent ensuri...

  Background : Many studies have focused on oxidative stress induced damage and hence, the protective effects conferred by antioxidants. An example is neurodegenerative diseases which is thought to occur due to neuronal loss associated with oxidative stress. However, some antioxidants such as vitamin E have been shown to also exert pro-oxidative effects at high concentration.   Objective : In t...

A neuron MOS transistor has a floating gate and multiple input gates which are capacitively coupling with the floating gate. Dramatic reduction in the number of transistors and interconnections was achieved by employing the neuron MOS in circuit designs. Since the neuron MOS gate electrode is electrically floating, it is not necessarily easy to calculate the floating gate potential using circui...

Neuron cell are built from a myriad of axon and dendrite structures. It transmits electrochemical signals between the brain and the nervous system. Three-dimensional visualization of neuron structure could help to facilitate deeper understanding of neuron and its models. An accurate neuron model could aid understanding of brain's functionalities, diagnosis and knowledge of entire nervous system...

To determine whether specific asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides present in cell surface glycoproteins are required for cell-cell interactions within the peripheral nervous system, we have used castanospermine to inhibit maturation of N-linked sugars in cell cultures of neurons or neurons plus Schwann cells. Maximally 10-15% of the N-linked oligosaccharides on neuronal proteins have ...

This paper introduces a computational model of integrated information in bidirectional neuron–astrocyte communication. Dynamical analysis and transfer process are studied when stimulation metabotropic glutamate is loaded into neuron astrocyte coupled model, respectively. The results show that the loading stimulus coupling strength cause neuronal hyper-excitation, which some way linked to epilep...

Fractional nonlinear systems have been considered in many fields due to their ability bring memory-dependent properties into various systems. Therefore, using fractional derivatives model real-world phenomena, such as neuronal dynamics, is of significant importance. This paper presents the memristive Wilson neuron and studies its dynamics a single neuron. Furthermore, collective behavior neuron...
