Abstract:

This literature review explores human mirror neurons from several angles. First it retells mirror neuron history, from the initial discovery in the macaque monkey research through to the experiments determining if there is a human brain homologue. Then the merits of two opposing evolutionary views – mirror neurons as an adaptation or an association, here referring to an adaptation’s byproduct – are discussed. Lastly the autistic mirror neuron dysfunction hypothesis – stating that a faulty mirror neuron system is at the basis of autistic behavioral patterns – is examined for its validity but ul

Les xarxes neuronals cel·lulars altrament anomenades CNNs, són un tipus de sistema dinàmic que relaciona diferents elements que s'anomenen neurones via unes plantilles de paràmetres.

Networks of spiking neurons can be used not only for brain modeling but also to solve graph problems. With the use of a computationally efficient Izhikevich neuron model combined with plasticity rules, the networks possess self-organizing characteristics. Two different time-based synaptic plasticity rules are used to adjust weights among nodes in a graph resulting in solutions to graph prob- lems such as finding the shortest path and clustering.

The general aim of this thesis was to investigate mechanisms associated with neurotoxic peptide activity by Aβ, tau and α-syn in relation to cellular degradation and transfer with a cell-to-cell transfer model system.

Abstract:

The brain – the organ that allows us to be aware of our surroundings – consists of a complex network of neurons, which seemingly allows the human brain to be able of abstract thinking, emotions, and cognitive function. To learn how the brain is capable of this, the two main branches of neuroscience study either neurons in detail, or how they communicate within neuronal networks. Both these branches often tackle the complexity using a combination of experiments and mathematical modelling. A third and less studied aspect of neuroscience concerns the neurovascular coupling (NVC), for which my res

Neocortical size correlates with information processing capacity, suggesting that increased neuronal number and diversity begets increased sophistication.

Although the vast majority of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases are of the sporadic type, mutations causing the familial form have been the focus of AD research for decades.

Furthermore, it is known that AD pathology spreads throughout the brain, most often along the same anatomical pattern. However, so far no cause for the sporadic form of the disease has been found.

Movement is central for life, and all animals depend on accurate regulation of movement for purposeful behavior. There is great diversity of movements, ranging between simple and vital breathing movements to minute and subtle movements of the face used to communicate emotions. Consequently, motor neurons, which are the only route of central nervous system output, are essential for all motor behaviors. To control the many motor behaviors expressed by an animal, motor neurons are exposed to a large number and variety of modulating synaptic inputs and have evolved into subtypes with specific func

Astrocytes can rapidly respond to neurotransmitters with a rise in [Ca²⁺]i and astrocyte neurotransmitter release has been shown to be calcium dependent.

Abstract:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are the commonest motor neuron diseases of adult- and childhood onset. Alterations of the RNA binding protein TDP-43 are associated with most cases of ALS, while SMA is caused by deletion of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN1) gene. SMN has been well characterised in its role in the assembly of the cellular machinery that carries out splicing of pre-mRNA, but is thought to have other functions in RNA metabolism unrelated to pre-mRNA splicing. It is conceivable that specific aspects of RNA handling are disrupted in both SMA and

Abstract:

Real-time tracking and object recognition is a large field with many possible applications. In this thesis we present a technical demo of a stereoscopic tracking system using artificial neural networks (ANN) and also an overview of the entire system, and its core functions. We have implemented a system able of tracking an object in real time at 60 frames per second. Using stereo matching we can extract the object coordinates in each camera, and calculate a distance estimate from the cameras to the object. The system is developed around the Xilinx ZC-706 evaluation board featuring a Zynq XC7Z04

Abstract:

This thesis formulates and evaluates a mathematical model from an engineer's point of view based on the currently-known information-processing processes and structures of biological neurons. The specification and evaluation of the RealNeuron model form a baseline for current use in engineering solutions and future developments. The RealNeuron is a carefully-reduced model that retains the essential features of more complex models. A systems engineering approach is used to formulate it, i.e. the model is described as using multiple resolution levels with configurable modular elements at each re

Abstract:

The thesis addresses the topic of Deep Neural Networks, in particular the methods regar- ding the field of Deep Learning, which is used to initialize the weight and learning process s itself within Deep Neural Networks. The focus is also put to the basic theory of the classical Neural Networks, which is important to comprehensive understanding of the issue. The aim of this work is to determine the optimal set of optional parameters of the algori- thms on various complexity levels of image recognition tasks through experimenting with created application applying Deep Neural Networks.
