The locust CNS contains approx 100 DUM neurons, distributed dorsomedially in the ganglia of the ventral nerve cord. These neurons contain and release p-octopamine (10). It is possible, therefore, to remove and maintain m vitro an approximately homogeneous population of DUM cell bodies to monitor the biosynthesis of p-octopamine (Fig. 2). Because of the stereotyped location and lai ge size of these cells, physiological confirmation of their identity prior to removal is unnecessary...

A data set can be split into a training set and a test set randomly or according to a specific rule. The 1293 compounds were divided into a training set of 741 compounds and a test set ot 552 compounds, based on their distribution in a K.NN map. From each occupied neuron, one compound was selected and taken into the training set, and the other compounds were put into the test set. This selection ensured that both the training set and the test set contained as much information as possible, and covered the chemical space as widely as possible.

CGRP has a wide distribution in the nervous system (19) and was the first peptide to be localized to motoneurons (124). It is also found in primary sensory neurons where it is colocalized with substance P (125). CGRP is derived from a precursor stmcturaHy related to the calcitonin precursor. The latter precursor produces two products, calcitonin itself and katacalcin, while the CGRP precursor produces one copy of CGRP (123). Like other peptides, CGRP is cleaved from its precursor by tryptic breakdown between double basic amino acid residues. 

CGRP is widely distributed throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems and is found ia sensory neurons and ia the autonomic and enteric nervous systems. In many iastances CGRP is co-localized with other neuroregulators, eg, ACh ia motor neurons, substance P, somatostatin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and galanin ia sensory neurons. It is also present ia the CNS, with ACh ia the parabigeminal nucleus and with cholecystokinin (CCK) ia the dorsal parabrachial area. CGRP functions as a neuromodulator or co-transmitter. 

Neurotensin. Neurotensia [39379-15-2] (NT),j )-Glu-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Lys-Pro-Arg-Arg-Pro-Try-Ile-Leu-OH, is a tridecapeptide that is cleaved from the ribosomaHy synthesized precursor, proneurotensia. NT is distributed through the peripheral and central nervous systems as well as ia certain other cell types (3,67). NT is colocalized with catecholamines ia some neurons. 

The ANN model had four neurones in the input layer one for each operating variable and one for the bias. The output was selected to be cumulative mass distribution thirteen neurones were used to represent it. A sigmoid functional... 

We mentioned above that a typical problem for a Boltzman Machine is to obtain a set of weights such that the states of the visible neurons take on some desired probability distribution. For example, the task may he to teach the net to learn that the first component of an Ai-component input vector has value +1 40% of the time. To accompli.sh this, a Boltzman Machine uses the familiar gradient-descent technique, but not on the energy of the net instead, it maximizes the relative entropy of the system. 

Neuromelanin, a dark colored pigment and product of the oxidative metabolism of dopamine, is found in the cytoplasm of dopaminergic neurons of the human substantia nigra pars compacta. Neuromelanin deposits increase with age, matching the age distribution of Parkinson s disease. In the absence of significant quantities of iron, neuromelanin can act as an antioxidant in...
