A computational deep learning investigation of animacy perception in the human brain by Stefanie Duyck, Andrea I. Costantino, Stefania Bracci, Hans Op de Beeck

“…While the perception of these objects as animal-like seems obvious to humans, such “Animal bias” is a striking discrepancy between the human brain and deep neural networks (DNNs). We computationally investigated the potential origins of this bias. …”

Activation of TLR4-Mediated NF𝜅B Signaling in Hemorrhagic Brain in Rats by Weiyu Teng, Lishu Wang, Weishuang Xue, Chao Guan

“…The level of p-I𝜅B𝛼 and the activity of NF𝜅B also increased in the brain after ICH compared with saline control. The present study firstly suggests that TLR4-mediated NF𝜅B signaling participates in the pathogenesis of ICH, which may become a therapeutic target for ICH-induced brain damage.…”
