Urine metabolomics phenotyping and urinary biomarker exploratory in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease

IntroductionAlzheimer’s disease is a prevalent disease with a heavy global burden and is suggested to be a metabolic disease in the brain in recent years. The metabolome is considered to be the most promising phenotype which reflects changes in genetic, transcript, and protein profiles as well as environmental effects. Aiming to obtain a comprehensive understanding […]

Differences in Social Expectations About Robot Signals and Human Signals

Abstract In our daily lives, we are continually involved in decision-making situations, many of which take place in the context of social interaction. Despite the ubiquity of such situations, there remains a gap in our understanding of how decision-making unfolds in social contexts, and how communicative signals, such as social cues and feedback, impact the […]

AngoraPy: A Python toolkit for modeling anthropomorphic goal-driven sensorimotor systems

Goal-driven deep learning increasingly supplements classical modeling approaches in computational neuroscience. The strength of deep neural networks as models of the brain lies in their ability to autonomously learn the connectivity required to solve complex and ecologically valid tasks, obviating the need for hand-engineered or hypothesis-driven connectivity patterns. Consequently, goal-driven models can generate hypotheses about […]
