We present a model for development of orientation selectivity in layer IV simple cells. Receptive field (RF) development in the model, is determined by diffusive cooperation and resource limited competition guided axonal growth and retraction in geniculocortical pathway. The simulated cortical RFs resemble experimental RFs. The receptive field model is incorporated in a three-layer visual pathway model consisting of retina, LGN and cortex. We have studied the effect of activity dependent synaptic scaling on orientation tuning of cortical cells. The mean value of hwhh (half width at half the height of maximum response) in simulated cortical cells is 58 degrees when we consider only the linear excitatory contribution from LGN. We observe a mean improvement of 22.8 degrees in tuning response due to the non-linear spiking mechanisms that include effects of threshold voltage and synaptic scaling factor.

During the mating season, reproductive individuals of numerous insect species gather in rendezvous areas, which increases mating opportunities. Male hymenopterans often have to move considerable distances during a particular season, searching or waiting for receptive females. Such behavior is likely driven by a complex combination of individual and species-specific traits, environmental influence, and landscape cues.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is an emerging, non-invasive technique increasingly utilized for retinal vasculature imaging. Analysis of OCTA images can effectively diagnose retinal diseases, unfortunately, complex vascular structures within OCTA images possess significant challenges for automated segmentation. A novel, fully convolutional dense connected residual network is proposed to effectively segment the vascular regions within OCTA images.

Event-related potentials (ERPs) can reveal brain activity elicited by external stimuli. Innovative methods to decode ERPs could enhance the accuracy of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology and promote the understanding of cognitive processes. This paper proposes a novel Multi-Scale Pyramid Squeeze Attention Similarity Optimization Classification Neural Network (MS-PSA-SOC) for ERP Detection.

However, the design of such transceiver coils and coil arrays often faces technical challenges in achieving the required high operating frequency at the ultrahigh fields and sufficient electromagnetic (EM) decoupling between resonant elements. In this work, we propose a high impedance microstrip transmission line resonator (HIMTL) technique that has unique high frequency capability and adequate EM decoupling without the use of dedicated decoupling circuits.
