One Picture Is Worth at Least a Million Neurons
How many neurons participate in the representation of a single visual image? Answering this question is critical for constraining biologically inspired models of object recognition, which vary greatly in their assumptions from few "grandmother cells" to numerous neurons in widely distributed networks. Functional imaging techniques, such as fMRI, provide an opportunity to explore this issue, sin...
متن کاملExistence of at least three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system
In this paper, applying two theorems of Ricceri and Bonanno, we will establish the existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system. Indeed, we will assign a differentiable nonlinear operator to a differential equation system such that the critical points of this operator are weak solutions of the system. In this paper, applying two theorems of R...
متن کاملCongenital Heart Defects in Children with Dextrocardia: A Ten-Year Study
Background Dextrocardia is a malposition of the heart defined as the right-sided development of the heart. It can increase the likelihood of congenital heart defects or diseases (CHD) and the risk of related morbidities and mortalities. We aimed to determine the frequency of CHDs among Dextrocardia patients. Materials and Methods In a retrospective cross-sectional study the records of patients ...
