Nicotine on the developing brain [PDF]
Pharmacological Research, 2023 Developmental periods such as gestation and adolescence have enhanced plasticity leaving the brain vulnerable to harmful effects from nicotine use. Proper brain maturation and circuit organization is critical for normal physiological and behavioral outcomes.

The Basics of Brain Development [PDF]
Neuropsychology Review, 2010 Over the past several decades, significant advances have been made in our understanding of the basic stages and mechanisms of mammalian brain development. Studies elucidating the neurobiology of brain development span the levels of neural organization from the macroanatomic, to the cellular, to the molecular. Together this large body of work provides a

The whole brain architecture approach: Accelerating the development of artificial general intelligence by referring to the brain [PDF]
Neural Networks, Volume 144, December 2021, Pages 478-495, 2021 The vastness of the design space created by the combination of a large number of computational mechanisms, including machine learning, is an obstacle to creating an artificial general intelligence (AGI). Brain-inspired AGI development, in other words, cutting down the design space to look more like a biological brain, which is an existing model of a ...

Sleep in brain development [PDF]
Biological Research, 2007 With the discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, sleep was no longer considered a homogeneous state of passive rest for the brain. On the contrary, sleep, and especially REM sleep, appeared as an active condition of intense cerebral activity. The fact that we get large amounts of sleep in early life suggested that sleep may play a role in brain ...

Towards Understanding Human Functional Brain Development with Explainable Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Perspectives [PDF]
, 2021 The last decades have seen significant advancements in non-invasive neuroimaging technologies that have been increasingly adopted to examine human brain development. However, these improvements have not necessarily been followed by more sophisticated data analysis measures that are able to explain the mechanisms underlying functional brain development.

Hypothyroxinaemia and Brain Development [PDF]
Acta Endocrinologica (Bucharest), 2016 The aim of this review is to indicate the current position on the role of thyroxine (T4) and fetal brain development with particular relevance to the human situation. Adequate maternal iodine nutrition and maternal circulating thyroxine (T4) concentrations are essential to ensure optimum T4 placental passage which in turn will ensure transport of T4 ...

Autism and Brain Development [PDF]
Cell, 2008 Genetic studies are refining our understanding of neurodevelopmental mechanisms in autism. Some autism-related mutations appear to disrupt genes regulated by neuronal activity, which are especially important in development of the postnatal nervous system. Gene replacement studies in mice indicate that the developmental window to ameliorate symptoms may

Brain Development in Childhood [PDF]
The Open Neuroimaging Journal, 2012 Although human brain development continues throughout childhood and adolescence, it is a non-linear process both structurally and functionally. Here we review studies of brain development in healthy children from the viewpoint of structure and the perfusion of gray and white matter.

BrainCog: A Spiking Neural Network based Brain-inspired Cognitive Intelligence Engine for Brain-inspired AI and Brain Simulation [PDF]
, 2022 Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have attracted extensive attentions in Brain-inspired Artificial Intelligence and computational neuroscience. They can be used to simulate biological information processing in the brain at multiple scales. More importantly, SNNs serve as an appropriate level of abstraction to bring inspirations from brain and cognition to
