Prefrontal cortex synchronization with the hippocampus and parietal cortex is strategy-dependent during spatial learning by Francisca García, Maria-José Torres, Lorena Chacana-Véliz, Nelson Espinosa, Wael El-Deredy, Pablo Fuentealba, Ignacio Negrón-Oyarzo

“…When mice used spatial strategies specifically in searching stage, hippocampal and parietal oscillations synchronized gamma oscillations (60-100 Hz) and neuronal firing in the mPFC. This coincided with an increase in the incidence of gamma and task-stage-related changes in firing patterns in the mPFC. …”

Application of Low Intensity Ultrasound in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease by Hong Fei, Xu Fei

“…For pathological research, the development of low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS) provides another idea for the mechanism of AD treatment, which can better treat AD, regulate various factors specifically, and effectively treat AD by stimulating synapses and improving neurons. Based on this research background, this paper summarizes the role of AD biomarkers TAU protein, phosphorylated tau and amyloid protein in the occurrence and development of AD and the mechanism of pathological changes in the treatment of AD by low-intensity ultrasound, aiming to provide new insights into clarifying the pathological changes of AD biomarkers and the mechanism of LIUS in the treatment of AD. …”

Multiple Functions of Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase Enhancer (PIKE) by Chi Bun Chan, Keqiang Ye

“…In the past 10 years, we have characterized a novel class of GTPases called phosphoinositide-3 kinase enhancer (PIKE) that interacts with PI3K/Akt. In neurons, PIKE is involved in the protective mechanisms against neuroexcitotoxic insults by linking various receptors, such as mGluR1 and Unc5H2, to the PI3K cascade. …”

Malware detection approach based on improved SOINN by Bin ZHANG, Lixun LI, Shuqin DONG

“…To deal with the problems of dynamic update of detection model and high computation costs in malware detection model based on batch learning,a novel malware detection approach is proposed by combing SOINN and supervised classifiers,to reduce computation costs and enable the detection model to update dynamically with the assistance of SOINN′s incremental learning characteristic.Firstly,the improved SOINN was given.According to the whole alignment algorithm,search the adjusted weights of neurons under all input sequences in the learning cycle and then calculate the average value of all adjusted weights as the final result,to avoid SOINN′s stability under different input sequences and representativeness of original data,therefore improve malware detection accuracy.Then a data preprocessing algorithm was proposed based on nonnegative matrix factor and Z-score normalization to transfer the malware behavior feature vector from high dimension and high order to low dimension and low order,to speed up and avoid overfitting and further improve detection accuracy.The results of experiments show that proposed approach supports dynamic updating of detection model and has a significantly higher accuracy of detecting unknown new samples and lower computation costs than tradition methods.…”
