Artificial neural networks generated by low discrepancy sequences

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computing systems that imitate a human brain by learning to perform tasks by considering examples. These ANNs are typically created by connecting several layers of neural units using connections, where each neural unit is connected to every other neural unit either directly or indirectly to create fully connected layers within the ANN. However, by representing an artificial neural network utilizing paths from an input of the ANN to an output of the ANN, a complexity of the ANN may be reduced, and the ANN may be trained and implemented in a much faster manner when compared to fully connected layers within the ANN. More specifically, the ANN may be trained sparse from scratch in order to avoid a more expensive procedure of training the ANN and compressing it afterwards.

A method for preparing a brain organoid model of Kabuki syndrome and its application

This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a method for preparing a Kabuki syndrome brain organoid model and its application. This invention provides the application of GSK-3 inhibitors in the preparation of drugs for treating Kabuki syndrome. Currently existing Kabuki models include heterozygous mice, zebrafish, and 2D human cell models. However, the complexity of human brain development cannot be compared to animal models or single 2D cell models. In this invention, the inventors used CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing technology to knock out KMT2D and established a Kabuki syndrome brain organoid model using brain organoid technology. Studies have found that, compared to the wild type, the Kabuki syndrome brain organoid exhibits premature differentiation of excessive GABAergic neurons. Furthermore, by testing the dosage and time window of the small molecule chir99021, we found that this small molecule can restore the phenotype of abnormal neuronal differentiation in the Kabuki syndrome brain organoid. This discovery will provide new insights for the treatment of Kabuki syndrome.
