A convolutional neural-network framework for modelling auditory sensory cells and synapses.

ABSTRACT: In classical computational neuroscience, analytical model descriptions are derived from neuronal recordings to mimic the underlying biological system. These neuronal models are typically slow to compute and cannot be integrated within large-scale neuronal simulation frameworks. We present a hybrid, machine-learning and computational-neuroscience approach that transforms analytical models of sensory neurons and synapses into deep-neural-network (DNN) neuronal units with the same biophysical properties. Our DNN-model architecture comprises parallel and differentiable equations that can be used for backpropagation in neuro-engineering applications, and offers a simulation run-time improvement factor of 70 and 280 on CPU or GPU systems respectively. We focussed our development on auditory neurons and synapses, and show that our DNN-model architecture can be extended to a variety of existing analytical models. We describe how our approach for auditory models can be applied to other neuron and synapse types to help accelerate the development of large-scale brain networks and DNN-based treatments of the pathological system.

Convolutional neural network modelling: advancing identification of true mRNA cleavage sites

Project description:Degradome sequencing is commonly used to generate high-throughput information on mRNA cleavages by small RNAs. Here we developed an extension module based on a deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) in a machine learning environment to discriminate false from true cleavage sites applied on datasets from potato (Solanum tuberosum, St) and the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans (Pi). The core of the CNN module is a stochastic gradient descent optimizer with cyclical learning rate (CLR) which together with Bayesian optimization scored a validation accuracy of 100%. To verify the recognition of cleavage sites we applied the module on Arabidopsis thaliana microRNA cleavages. Our module managed to recognize all cleavages, confirming the reliability of the module. When applying this new model to evaluate our data, 7.3% of all cleavage windows represented true cleavages distributed as 214 sites in P. infestans and 444 sites in potato. The sRNA landscape of the potato-P. infestans interaction is complex with uneven sRNA production and cleavage regions. In total, 222 endogenous Pi-sRNAs, 565 endogenous St-sRNAs, 91 trans-acting Pi-sRNAs and 14 trans-acting St-sRNAs were discovered from our datasets. Groups of self-regulatory sRNAs, and sRNAs generated from effector sequences like RXLR and Crinklers suggest dual effector functions. In the potato genome, resistance genes were most targeted mainly as self-regulation but also as results of a trans-action event. Our new analytic model is freely accessible for anyone working on complex biological systems.

Merkel Cells Activate Sensory Neural Pathways through Adrenergic Synapses.

Project description:Epithelial-neuronal signaling is essential for sensory encoding in touch, itch, and nociception; however, little is known about the release mechanisms and neurotransmitter receptors through which skin cells govern neuronal excitability. Merkel cells are mechanosensory epidermal cells that have long been proposed to activate neuronal afferents through chemical synaptic transmission. We employed a set of classical criteria for chemical neurotransmission as a framework to test this hypothesis. RNA sequencing of adult mouse Merkel cells demonstrated that they express presynaptic molecules and biosynthetic machinery for adrenergic transmission. Moreover, live-cell imaging directly demonstrated that Merkel cells mediate activity- and VMAT-dependent release of fluorescent catecholamine neurotransmitter analogs. Touch-evoked firing in Merkel-cell afferents was inhibited either by pre-synaptic silencing of SNARE-mediated vesicle release from Merkel cells or by neuronal deletion of ?2-adrenergic receptors. Together, these results identify both pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms through which Merkel cells excite mechanosensory afferents to encode gentle touch. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

Diagnostic Performance of a Convolutional Neural Network for Diminutive Colorectal Polyp Recognition

Project description:Interventions: None Primary outcome(s): The primary outcome of the study is the accuracy of the CAD-CNN system for predicting histology of diminutive colorectal polyps (1-5mm) compared with the accuracy of the prediction of the endoscopist. Both the CAD-CNN system and the endoscopist will use NBI for their predictions. Accuracy is defined as the percentage of correctly predicted optical diagnoses of the CAD-CNN system and/or endoscopist compared to the gold standard pathology. For the calculation of the accuracy, adenomas and SSLs will be dichotomised as neoplastic polyps, while HPs and other non-neoplastic histology are considered non-neoplastic.

Convolutional neural network based data interpretable framework for Alzheimer's treatment planning.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder that predominantly affects the brain. In the coming years, it is expected to spread rapidly, with limited progress in diagnostic techniques. Various machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been employed to detect AD using single-modality data. However, recent developments in ML have enabled the application of these methods to multiple data sources and input modalities for AD prediction. In this study, we developed a framework that utilizes multimodal data (tabular data, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, and genetic information) to classify AD. As part of the pre-processing phase, we generated a knowledge graph from the tabular data and MRI images. We employed graph neural networks for knowledge graph creation, and region-based convolutional neural network approach for image-to-knowledge graph generation. Additionally, we integrated various explainable AI (XAI) techniques to interpret and elucidate the prediction outcomes derived from multimodal data. Layer-wise relevance propagation was used to explain the layer-wise outcomes in the MRI images. We also incorporated submodular pick local interpretable model-agnostic explanations to interpret the decision-making process based on the tabular data provided. Genetic expression values play a crucial role in AD analysis. We used a graphical gene tree to identify genes associated with the disease. Moreover, a dashboard was designed to display XAI outcomes, enabling experts and medical professionals to easily comprehend the prediction results.

AtacWorks: A deep convolutional neural network toolkit for epigenomics

Project description:We introduce AtacWorks (https://github.com/clara-genomics/AtacWorks), a method to denoise and identify accessible chromatin regions from low-coverage or low-quality ATAC-seq data. AtacWorks uses a deep neural network to learn a mapping between noisy ATAC-seq data and corresponding higher-coverage or higher-quality data. We apply this approach to as few as 50 hematopoietic stem cells to identify regulatory elements that are differentially-accessible between rare lineage-primed cell subpopulations.

DeephageTP: a convolutional neural network framework for identifying phage-specific proteins from metagenomic sequencing data.

Project description:Bacteriophages (phages) are the most abundant and diverse biological entity on Earth. Due to the lack of universal gene markers and database representatives, there about 50-90% of genes of phages are unable to assign functions. This makes it a challenge to identify phage genomes and annotate functions of phage genes efficiently by homology search on a large scale, especially for newly phages. Portal (portal protein), TerL (large terminase subunit protein), and TerS (small terminase subunit protein) are three specific proteins of Caudovirales phage. Here, we developed a CNN (convolutional neural network)-based framework, DeephageTP, to identify the three specific proteins from metagenomic data. The framework takes one-hot encoding data of original protein sequences as the input and automatically extracts predictive features in the process of modeling. To overcome the false positive problem, a cutoff-loss-value strategy is introduced based on the distributions of the loss values of protein sequences within the same category. The proposed model with a set of cutoff-loss-values demonstrates high performance in terms of Precision in identifying TerL and Portal sequences (94% and 90%, respectively) from the mimic metagenomic dataset. Finally, we tested the efficacy of the framework using three real metagenomic datasets, and the results shown that compared to the conventional alignment-based methods, our proposed framework had a particular advantage in identifying the novel phage-specific protein sequences of portal and TerL with remote homology to their counterparts in the training datasets. In summary, our study for the first time develops a CNN-based framework for identifying the phage-specific protein sequences with high complexity and low conservation, and this framework will help us find novel phages in metagenomic sequencing data. The DeephageTP is available at https://github.com/chuym726/DeephageTP.

Neural encoding with unsupervised spiking convolutional neural network.

Project description:Accurately predicting the brain responses to various stimuli poses a significant challenge in neuroscience. Despite recent breakthroughs in neural encoding using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in fMRI studies, there remain critical gaps between the computational rules of traditional artificial neurons and real biological neurons. To address this issue, a spiking CNN (SCNN)-based framework is presented in this study to achieve neural encoding in a more biologically plausible manner. The framework utilizes unsupervised SCNN to extract visual features of image stimuli and employs a receptive field-based regression algorithm to predict fMRI responses from the SCNN features. Experimental results on handwritten characters, handwritten digits and natural images demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve remarkably good encoding performance and can be utilized for "brain reading" tasks such as image reconstruction and identification. This work suggests that SNN can serve as a promising tool for neural encoding.

Multi-Classification of Brain Tumor MRI Images Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network with Fully Optimized Framework

Project description:Brain tumor diagnosis and classification still rely on histopathological analysis of biopsy specimens today. The current method is invasive, time-consuming and prone to manual errors. These disadvantages show how essential it is to perform a fully automated method for multi-classification of brain tumors based on deep learning. This paper aims to make multi-classification of brain tumors for the early diagnosis purposes using convolutional neural network (CNN). Three different CNN models are proposed for three different classification tasks. Brain tumor detection is achieved with 99.33% accuracy using the first CNN model. The second CNN model can classify the brain tumor into five brain tumor types as normal, glioma, meningioma, pituitary and metastatic with an accuracy of 92.66%. The third CNN model can classify the brain tumors into three grades as Grade II, Grade III and Grade IV with an accuracy of 98.14%. All the important hyper-parameters of CNN models are automatically designated using the grid search optimization algorithm. To the best of author’s knowledge, this is the first study for multi-classification of brain tumor MRI images using CNN whose almost all hyper-parameters are tuned by the grid search optimizer. The proposed CNN models are compared with other popular state-of-the-art CNN models such as AlexNet, Inceptionv3, ResNet-50, VGG-16 and GoogleNet. Satisfactory classification results are obtained using large and publicly available clinical datasets. The proposed CNN models can be employed to assist physicians and radiologists in validating their initial screening for brain tumor multi-classification purposes.
