Abstract

Over the last three years the Neurons to Algorithms (N2A) LDRD project teams has built infrastructure to discover computational structures in the brain. This consists of a modeling language, a tool that enables model development and simulation in that language, and initial connections with the Neuroinformatics community, a group working toward similar goals. The approach of N2A is to express large complex systems like the brain as populations of a discrete part types that have specific structural relationships with each other, along with internal and structural dynamics. Such an evolving mathematical system may be able to capture the essence of neural processing, and ultimately of thought itself. This final report is a cover for the actual products of the project: the N2A Language Specification, the N2A Application, and a journal paper summarizing our methods.

Up-regulation of miR-122 protects against neuronal cell death in ischemic stroke through the heat shock protein 70-dependent NF-κB pathway by targeting FOXO3

Journal Article Guo, Dong; Ma, Ji; Li, Tengfei; ... - Experimental Cell Research

Highlights: • miR-122 was decreased in mouse N2A neuroblastoma (N2A) cells after OGD and mouse brain after MCAO. • Gain-of-miR-122 function significantly suppressed OGD- and MCAO-induced injures in vitro and in vivo. • miR-122 was validated to directly bind to the predicted 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of FOXO3. • The inhibitory effects of miR-122 on ischemic injury in vitro and in vivo were overturned by FOXO3 overexpression and miR-122-FOXO3 axis functioned via the heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70)-mediated NF-κB pathway. • miR-122 inhibits ischemic neuronal death through HSP-70-dependent NF-κB pathway by targeting FOXO3. Dysfunction of the microRNA (miRNA) network has beenmore »« less

Modulation of neuronal differentiation by CD40 isoforms

Journal Article Huayu, Hou; Obregon, Demian; Lou, Deyan; ... - Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Neuron differentiation is a complex process involving various cell-cell interactions, and multiple signaling pathways. We showed previously that CD40 is expressed and functional on mouse and human neurons. In neurons, ligation of CD40 protects against serum withdrawal-induced injury and plays a role in survival and differentiation. CD40 deficient mice display neuron dysfunction, aberrant neuron morphologic changes, and associated gross brain abnormalities. Previous studies by Tone and colleagues suggested that five isoforms of CD40 exist with two predominant isoforms expressed in humans: signal-transducible CD40 type I and a C-terminal truncated, non-signal-transducible CD40 type II. We hypothesized that differential expression of CD40more »« less

Integrated computer control system CORBA-based simulator FY98 LDRD project final summary report

Technical Report Bryant, R; Holloway, F; Van Arsdall, P

The CORBA-based Simulator was a Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project that applied simulation techniques to explore critical questions about distributed control architecture. The simulator project used a three-prong approach comprised of a study of object-oriented distribution tools, computer network modeling, and simulation of key control system scenarios. This summary report highlights the findings of the team and provides the architectural context of the study. For the last several years LLNL has been developing the Integrated Computer Control System (ICCS), which is an abstract object-oriented software framework for constructing distributed systems. The framework is capable of implementing large event-drivenmore »« less

Sustained expression of a neuron-specific isoform of the Taf1 gene in development stages and aging in mice

Journal Article Jambaldorj, Jamiyansuren; Makino, Satoshi; Munkhbat, Batmunkh; ... - Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer We identified the mouse homologue of neuron-specific TAF1 (N-Taf1). Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Taf1 mRNA was expressed in most tissues and cell lines. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer N-Taf1 mRNA was expressed in the brain and Neuroblastoma N2a cell lines. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Taf1 and N-Taf1 showed different expression profile in development stage and aging. -- Abstract: TATA-box binding protein associated factor 1 (TAF1) protein is the largest and the essential component of the TFIID complex in the pathway of RNA polymerase II-mediated gene transcription, and it regulates transcription of a large number of genes related to cell division. The neuron-specific isoform of the TAF1 gene (N-TAF1),more »« less

Machine speech and speaking about machines

Conference Nye, A

Current philosophy of language prides itself on scientific status. It boasts of being no longer contaminated with queer mental entities or idealist essences. It theorizes language as programmable variants of formal semantic systems, reimaginable either as the properly epiphenomenal machine functions of computer science or the properly material neural networks of physiology. Whether or not such models properly capture the physical workings of a living human brain is a question that scientists will have to answer. I, as a philosopher, come at the problem from another direction. Does contemporary philosophical semantics, in its dominant truth-theoretic and related versions, capture actualmore »« less
