Plasticity of the Primary Motor Cortex in Patients with Primary Brain Tumors by Nathan W. Kong, William R. Gibb, Suvarna Badhe, Benjamin P. Liu, Matthew C. Tate

“…In a retrospective case series of 13 patients, we utilize a novel paradigm that analyzes serial fMRI scans in patients harboring intrinsic brain tumors that vary in location and growth kinetics to better understand the mechanisms underlying these two modes of plasticity in the human primary motor cortex. Twelve patients in our series had some degree of primary motor cortex plasticity, an area previously thought to have limited plasticity. …”

Survey on explainable knowledge graph reasoning methods by Yi XIA, Mingjng LAN, Xiaohui CHEN, Junyong LUO, Gang ZHOU, Peng HE

“…In recent years, deep learning models have achieved remarkable progress in the prediction and classification tasks of artificial intelligence systems.However, most of the current deep learning models are black box, which means it is not conducive to human cognitive reasoning process.Meanwhile, with the continuous breakthroughs of artificial intelligence in the researches and applications, high-performance complex algorithms, models and systems generally lack the transparency and interpretability of decision making.This makes it difficult to apply the technologies in a wide range of fields requiring strict interpretability, such as national defense, medical care and cyber security.Therefore, the interpretability of artificial intelligence should be integrated into these algorithms and systems in the process of knowledge reasoning.By means of carrying out explicit explainable intelligence reasoning based on discrete symbolic representation and combining technologies in different fields, a behavior explanation mechanism can be formed which is an important way for artificial intelligence to realize data perception to intelligence perception.A comprehensive review of explainable knowledge graph reasoning was given.The concepts of explainable artificial intelligence and knowledge reasoning were introduced briefly.The latest research progress of explainable knowledge graph reasoning methods based on the three paradigms of artificial intelligence was introduced.Specifically, the ideas and improvement process of the algorithms in different scenarios of explainable knowledge graph reasoning were explained in detail.Moreover, the future research direction and the prospect of explainable knowledge graph reasoning were discussed.…”

Mycoketide: A CD1c-Presented Antigen with Important Implications in Mycobacterial Infection by Isamu Matsunaga, Masahiko Sugita

“…It has recently been established that a fraction of the cell wall lipid components of mycobacteria can function as antigens targeted by the acquired immunity of the host. Human group 1 CD1 molecules (CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c) bind a pool of lipid antigens expressed by mycobacteria and present them to specific T cells, thereby mediating an effective pathway for host defense against tuberculosis. …”
