Buckling instabilities driven by tissue growth underpin key developmental events such as the folding of the brain. Tissue growth is disordered due to cell-to-cell variability, but the effects of this variability on buckling are unknown.…
Sleep change is commonly reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and their brain wave studies show decrease in dreaming and non-dreaming stages. Although sleep disturbance is generally considered as a consequence of AD, it might also…
The high motility of synaptic weights raises the question of how the brain can retain its functionality in the face of constant synaptic remodeling. Here we used the whisker system of rats and mice to study the interplay between synaptic…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodivergent condition with a wide range of characteristics and support levels. Individuals with ASD can exhibit various combinations of traits such as difficulties in social interaction, communication,…
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise energy-efficient computation by mimicking biological neural dynamics, yet existing plasticity rules focus on isolated spike pairs and fail to leverage the synchronous activity patterns that drive…
Catastrophic forgetting/interference is a critical problem for lifelong learning machines, which impedes the agents from maintaining their previously learned knowledge while learning new tasks. Neural networks, in particular, suffer plenty…
Neural plasticity is fundamental to memory storage and retrieval in biological systems, yet existing models often fall short in addressing noise sensitivity and unbounded synaptic weight growth. This paper investigates the Allee-based…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects children's social and communication abilities, with eye-tracking widely used to identify atypical gaze patterns. While unsupervised clustering can automate the creation of areas of interest for gaze…
Currently, the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is dependent upon a subjective, time-consuming evaluation of behavioral tests by an expert clinician. Non-invasive functional MRI (fMRI) characterizes brain connectivity and may be…
Research in machine learning for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) classification bears the promise to improve clinical diagnoses. However, recent studies in clinical imaging have shown the limited generalization of biomarkers across and…
The early detection of developmental disorders is key to child outcome, allowing interventions to be initiated that promote development and improve prognosis. Research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggests behavioral markers can be…
Spike-timing-dependent plasticity(STDP) is a biological process of synaptic modification caused by the difference of firing order and timing between neurons. One of the neurodynamical roles of STDP is to form a macroscopic geometrical…
What makes a network complex, in addition to its size, is the interconnected interactions between elements, disruption of which inevitably results in dysfunction. Likewise, the brain networks' complexity arises from interactions beyond pair…
This paper addresses the question of the brain's critical dynamics after an injury such as a stroke. It is hypothesized that the healthy brain operates near a phase transition (critical point), which provides optimal conditions for…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to insufficient or definition error(s) in the ethics approval protocol. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) impact the cognitive, social, communicative and behavioral abilities of an individual.…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder that affects intellectual development, social behavior, and facial features, and the number of cases is still significantly increasing. Due to the variety of symptoms ASD…
Accurate diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on neuroimaging data has significant implications, as extracting useful information from neuroimaging data for ASD detection is challenging. Even though machine learning techniques…
Complex systems, when poised near a critical point of a phase transition between order and disorder, exhibit a dynamics comprising a scale-free mixture of order and disorder which is universal, i.e. system-independent (1-5). It allows…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is a neuro development disorder, is often accompanied by sensory issues such an over sensitivity or under sensitivity to sounds and smells or touch. Although its main cause is genetics in nature, early…
Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) has recently been shown in some physiological studies. STDP depends on the precise temporal relationship of pre- and post-synaptic spikes. Many authors have indicated that a precise balance between…
