Abstract

Although current research aims to improve deep learning networks by applying knowledge about the healthy human brain and vice versa, the potential of using such networks to model and study neurodegenerative diseases remains largely unexplored. In this work, we present an in-depth feasibility study modeling progressive dementia in silico with deep convolutional neural networks. Therefore, networks were trained to perform visual object recognition and then progressively injured by applying neuronal as well as synaptic injury. After each iteration of injury, network object recognition accuracy, saliency map similarity between the intact and injured networks, and internal activations of the degenerating models were evaluated. The evaluation revealed that cognitive function of the network progressively decreased with increasing injury load whereas this effect was much more pronounced for synaptic damage. The effects of neurodegeneration found for the in silico model are especially similar to the loss of visual cognition seen in patients with posterior cortical atrophy.

卷积神经网络中的痴呆:使用深度学习模型模拟视觉系统的神经变性。
尽管目前的研究旨在通过应用关于健康人脑的知识来改进深度学习网络,反之亦然,但使用这种网络来建模和研究神经退行性疾病的潜力在很大程度上仍未被探索。在这项工作中,我们提出了一项深入的可行性研究,用深度卷积神经网络在计算机上模拟进行性痴呆。因此,神经网络被训练来进行视觉物体识别,然后通过神经元和突触损伤来逐步损伤。在每次损伤迭代后,评估网络目标识别精度、完整和损伤网络之间的显著性图相似性以及退化模型的内部激活情况。结果表明,随着损伤负荷的增加,神经网络的认知功能逐渐下降,而突触损伤的认知功能下降更为明显。在计算机模型中发现的神经退行性变的影响与后皮层萎缩患者的视觉认知丧失特别相似。
