AI Article Synopsis

  • Observing neural networks helps identify learning, memory, and abnormal circuit activities in diseases, aiding in tracking disease progression.
  • Initial methodologies focused on genes expressed by active neurons, later evolving to incorporate techniques like optogenetics and interdisciplinary insights from chemistry and physics.
  • This review addresses the evolution of molecular biological techniques used to study neural networks and explores potential future advancements.

Article Abstract

Observing the activity of neural networks is critical for the identification of learning and memory processes, as well as abnormal activities of neural circuits in disease, particularly for the purpose of tracking disease progression. Methodologies for describing the activity history of neural networks using molecular biology techniques first utilized genes expressed by active neurons, followed by the application of recently developed techniques including optogenetics and incorporation of insights garnered from other disciplines, including chemistry and physics. In this review, we will discuss ways in which molecular biological techniques used to describe the activity of neural networks have evolved along with the potential for future development.

Motivation: Ensuring connectivity and preventing fractures in tubular object segmentation are critical for downstream analyses. Despite advancements in deep neural networks (DNNs) that have significantly improved tubular object segmentation, existing methods still face limitations. They often rely heavily on precise annotations, hindering their scalability to large-scale unlabeled image datasets.

Purpose: The study aimed to develop a deep learning model for rapid, automated measurement of full-spine X-rays in adolescents with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). A significant challenge in this field is the time-consuming nature of manual measurements and the inter-individual variability in these measurements. To address these challenges, we utilized RTMpose deep learning technology to automate the process.

College of Artificial Intelligence, Nanjing Agricultural University, Weigang No.1, Nanjing, 210095, Jiangsu, China.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been widely recognized as a promising solution to combat antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms due to the increasing abuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture around the globe. In this study, we propose UniAMP, a systematic prediction framework for discovering AMPs. We observe that feature vectors used in various existing studies constructed from peptide information, such as sequence, composition, and structure, can be augmented and even replaced by information inferred by deep learning models.

Biomedical research increasingly relies on three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models and artificial-intelligence-based analysis can potentially facilitate a detailed and accurate feature extraction on a single-cell level. However, this requires for a precise segmentation of 3D cell datasets, which in turn demands high-quality ground truth for training. Manual annotation, the gold standard for ground truth data, is too time-consuming and thus not feasible for the generation of large 3D training datasets.

In order to reduce the number of parameters in the Chinese herbal medicine recognition model while maintaining accuracy, this paper takes 20 classes of Chinese herbs as the research object and proposes a recognition network based on knowledge distillation and cross-attention - ShuffleCANet (ShuffleNet and Cross-Attention). Firstly, transfer learning was used for experiments on 20 classic networks, and DenseNet and RegNet were selected as dual teacher models. Then, considering the parameter count and recognition accuracy, ShuffleNet was determined as the student model, and a new cross-attention mechanism was proposed.
