Coupled Oscillators as a model of Olfactory Network. Importance in Pattern Recognition and Classification tasks [PDF]
The olfactory system is constantly solving pattern-recognition problems by the creation of a large space to codify odour representations and optimizing their distribution within it. A model of the Olfactory Bulb was developed by Z. Li and J. J. Hopfield Li and Hopfield (1989) based on anatomy and electrophysiology.

Anatomy Completor: A Multi-class Completion Framework for 3D Anatomy Reconstruction [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce a completion framework to reconstruct the geometric shapes of various anatomies, including organs, vessels and muscles. Our work targets a scenario where one or multiple anatomies are missing in the imaging data due to surgical, pathological or traumatic factors, or simply because these anatomies are not covered by image ...

Crossmodal Connections of Primary Sensory Cortices Largely Vanish During Normal Aging
During aging, human response times (RTs) to unisensory and crossmodal stimuli decrease. However, the elderly benefit more from crossmodal stimulus representations than younger people.

The role of temporal cortex in the control of attention [PDF]
Attention is an indispensable component of active vision. Contrary to the widely accepted notion that temporal cortex processing primarily focusses on passive object recognition, a series of very recent studies emphasize the role of temporal cortex structures, specifically the superior temporal sulcus (STS) and inferotemporal (IT) cortex, in guiding ...

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Topographic Deep Artificial Neural Networks (TDANNs) predict face selectivity topography in primate inferior temporal (IT) cortex [PDF]
Deep convolutional neural networks are biologically driven models that resemble the hierarchical structure of primate visual cortex and are the current best predictors of the neural responses measured along the ventral stream. However, the networks lack topographic properties that are present in the visual cortex, such as orientation maps in primary ...

Assessment of concurrent neoplasms and a paraneoplastic association in MOGAD
Abstract Cases of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD) co‐occurring with neoplasms have been reported. In this international, retrospective cohort study in South Korea and the USA, 16 of 445 (3.6%) patients with MOGAD had concurrent neoplasm within 2 years of MOGAD onset, resulting in a standardized incidence ...
