Loss shaping enhances exact gradient learning with Eventprop in spiking neural networks by Thomas Nowotny, James P Turner, James C Knight

“…We found that when combined with two specific augmentations, the right regularisation and a delay line input, Eventprop networks with one recurrent layer achieved state-of-the-art performance on SHD and good accuracy on SSC. In comparison to a leading surrogate-gradient-based SNN training method, our GeNN Eventprop implementation is 3× faster and uses 4× less memory. …”

Mechanical Properties of Sandstones under Initial Unloading Damage by Hengbin Zhang, Lehua Wang, Jianlin Li, Huafeng Deng, Xiaoliang Xu

“…From the energy point of view, the greater the unloading damage, the smaller the stored elastic strain energy, which leads to the decrease of peak strength. At present, the unloading fracture inside the rock sample has developed, and the failure mode of the sample gradually changes from compression shear failure to tensile shear failure. …”

APOE4 and sedentary lifestyle synergistically impair neurovascular function in the visual cortex of awake mice by Silvia Anderle, Orla Bonnar, Joseph Henderson, Kira Shaw, Andre M. Chagas, Letitia McMullan, Alexandra Webber, Kirsty McGowan, Sarah L. King, Catherine N. Hall

“…Here, we ask whether genetic and lifestyle risk factors for AD—the ε4 allele of the Apolipoprotein (APOE) gene, and physical activity—can together produce this reduction in cerebral blood flow which leads eventually to AD. Using in vivo two-photon microscopy and haemodynamic measures, we record neurovascular function from the visual cortex of physically active or sedentary mice expressing APOE3 and APOE4 in place of murine APOE. …”
