Cortical neurons are the cells of the brain's cerebral cortex. Chemical synapses take the form of a small gap.

Method and system for automatic decoding of motor cortical activity

A Switching Kalman Filter Model for the real-time inference of hand kinematics from a population of motor cortical neurons. Firing rates are modeled as a Gaussian mixture where the mean of each Gaussian component is a linear function of hand kinematics. A “hidden state” models the probability of each mixture component and evolves over time in a Markov chain. Gaussian mixture models and Expectation Maximization (EM) techniques are extended for automatic spike sorting. Good initialization of EM is achieved via spectral clustering. To account for noise, the mixture model is extended to include a uniform outlier process. A greedy optimization algorithm that selects models with different numbers of neurons according to their decoding accuracy is used to automatically determine the number of neurons recorded per electrode. Closed loop neural control of external events are demonstrated using neural control of a computer curser.

The invention relates to a contour detection method based on the synergistic effect of multi-level inhibition zones of visual pathways. The present invention first constructs a direction-sensitive outer geniculate neuron array, records the contour direction selected by the outer geniculate body, and calculates the response of the outer geniculate neuron; takes the distance as a factor for the visual input of the classic receptive field and inhibitory area of ​​the outer geniculate neuron Carry out quantitative processing, take the difference between the two as the effective response of the inhibition area, and obtain the synergy parameters through dynamic rectification and power exponent normalization; obtain the visual input of the primary visual cortex through the local window weighted fusion of the response of the outer geniculate neurons, and detect Accurate contour response; calculate the primary visual cortex neuron inhibitory area response to obtain the final contour response. The invention considers the step-by-step refined detection mechanism when neurons at different levels perceive directions in the visual pathway, and simultaneously simulates the synergistic effect of inhibition areas between different levels, which can effectively improve the contour detection performance of natural images.

Application of interferon regulatory factor 5 and inhibitor thereof to cerebral stroke diseases

The invention belongs to the field of functions and application of genes. An IRF5 (Interferon Regulatory Factor 5) gene knockout mouse is used as an experiment object; a mouse middle cerebral artery ischemia and reperfusion injury caused cerebral stroke model is researched; a result shows that compared with a control group mouse, the infarct volume of the IRF5 gene knockout mouse is obviously reduced, a neurologic function is obviously improved and the quantity of dead nerve cells is reduced; the infarct volume of an IRF5 gene overexpression mouse is obviously improved, the neurologic function is obviously worsened and the quantity of the dead nerve cells is increased. An in vitro cell experiment shows that oxygen-poor / oxygen restoration injuries of primary cortical neuron cells can be inhibited through adenovirus vector mediated DEC1 (Deleted in Esophageal Cancer 1) interference and neuron cell apoptosis is inhibited. Therefore, an IRF5 has an effect of worsening the neurologic function, can aggravate and promote the development of cerebral stroke, and theoretical basis and clinical foundation are provided for researching a new target and a new strategy of preventing, alleviating and / or treating cerebral stroke diseases.
