    several chemicals‚ including one called brain-derived neurotrophic factor‚ or BDNF (Carmichael). The neurotransmitters‚ which are any substance responsible for sending nerve signals across a synapse between two neurons‚ in the body are serotonin and dopamine. With neurotransmission the neurons that are carrying the serotonin and endorphins must connect to a receptor in the brain and transport these chemicals to the brain. Serotonin is a chemical linked

    ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK: USE IN MANAGEMENT Neuron Transfer Function: The transfer function of a neuron is chosen to have a number of properties which either enhance or simplify the network containing the neuron. Crucially‚ for instance‚ any multilayer perceptron using a linear transfer function has an equivalent single-layer network; a non-linear function is therefore necessary to gain the advantages of a multi-layer network. Types of neuron transfer function • Pure Linear Transfer Function

    BLUE BRAIN 1. Introduction The name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Computer simulations in neuroscience hold the promise of dramatically enhancing the scientific method by providing a means to test hypotheses using predictive models of complex biological processes where experiments are not feasible. Of course‚ simulations are only as good as the quality of the data and the accuracy of the mathematical abstraction of the biological

    presynaptic dopaminergic neuron‚ lithium in acute administrations‚ inhibits the release of DA by binding onto the dopamine-specific (D1-D5) autoreceptors (Prasad‚ 2010). These autoreceptors serve as a mechanistic negative feedback loop that controls the release of DA and regulates its levels in the synaptic cleft. Lithium acts as an agonist on these autoreceptors and therefore inhibits the turnover of DA resulting in either increased reuptake or inhibited release from the presynaptic neuron. However this

    reasons why the brain grows so vast at this period. During this time‚ there is a drastic increase in the connections between cells. This is to allows a more developed communication between each neuron to allow a more developed cognition. Meanwhile‚ the myelin‚ the fatty insulation that helps and protects the neuron‚ also grows and develops greatly. This will help speed up the electrical messages sent from
