The Importance of Kant’s Philosophy of Mind for Contemporary Research in Artificial Intelligence by Anatoly G. Pushkarsky

“…To identify this macroarchitecture, the Kantian transcendental method is used, which consists in the fact that the transcendental architecture of any consciousness is not created as a result of empirical studies of human intellectual abilities, the functioning of brain processes or the achievements of evolutionary biology, but is constructed based on the a priori conditions of the very possibility of its existence. …”

Annexin A3 as a Marker Protein for Microglia in the Central Nervous System of Rats by Zengli Zhang, Zhengyiqi Li, Zhi Ma, Meiling Deng, Manyu Xing, Jing Wu, Shasha Jiang, Qiang Wang, Qulian Guo, Wangyuan Zou

“…We also investigated the spatiotemporal expression of ANXA3, CD11b, and Iba1 in vivo and in vitro and the cellular function of ANXA3 in microglia. We demonstrated that ANXA3-positive cells were abundant and evenly distributed throughout the whole brain tissue and spinal cord of adult rats. …”

Object knowledge representation in the human visual cortex requires a connection with the language system. by Bo Liu, Xiaosha Wang, Xiaoying Wang, Yan Li, Yang Han, Jiahui Lu, Hui Zhang, Xiaochun Wang, Yanchao Bi

“…Using object color as a test case, we investigated whether communication with the language system plays a necessary role in knowledge neural representation in the visual cortex and corresponding behaviors, combining diffusion imaging (measuring white-matter structural integrity), functional MRI (fMRI; measuring functional neural representation of knowledge), and neuropsychological assessments (measuring behavioral integrity) in a group of patients who suffered from stroke (N = 33; 18 with left-hemisphere lesions, 11 with right-hemisphere lesions, and 4 with bilateral lesions). …”

Human and artificial visual systems share a computational principle for transforming binocular disparity into depth representation by Bayu Gautama Wundari, Ichiro Fujita, Hiroshi Ban

“…A deep neural network (DNN) trained for stereo vision undergoes a similar transformation across its layers, progressing through distinct phases that exploit dissimilar features to achieve coherent depth. This brain-DNN alignment demonstrates that human and artificial visual systems share a computational principle for robust 3D vision.…”

Limbic system abnormalities in episodic cluster headache: a 7T MRI multimodal study by Xinyu Wang, Luhua Zhang, Yongqin Xiong, Mengmeng Hou, Shuhua Zhang, Caohui Duan, Song Wang, Xiaoyu Wang, Haoxuan Lu, Jiayu Huang, Yan Li, Zhixuan Li, Zhao Dong, Xin Lou

“…Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that in-bout but outside the attacks eCH patients present anatomical and functional maladaptation of the limbic system. Moreover, the observed dissociation between localized abnormalities and largely preserved network coupling—except in the hypothalamus and thalamus—suggests that these two regions may be particularly susceptible to eCH-related dysfunction, while broader brain networks retain compensatory capacity in pathological states. …”

The role and mechanism of Aβ clearance dysfunction in the glymphatic system in Alzheimer’s disease comorbidity by Hailang Li, Qianqian Yao, Xueyan Huang, Xiaoyan Yang, Changyin Yu

“…Comorbidities associated with AD, such as diabetes, depression, and hypertension, not only affect Aβ production but also impair the brain’s lymphatic system. Abnormalities in the structure and function of this system further weaken Aβ clearance capabilities, and the presence of comorbidities may exacerbate this process. …”
