Long-term associative memory in rats: Effects of familiarization period in object-place-context recognition test

Spontaneous recognition tests, which utilize rodents’ innate tendency to explore novelty, can evaluate not only simple non-associative recognition memory but also more complex associative memory in animals. In the present study, we investigated whether the length of the object familiarization period (sample phase) improved subsequent novelty discrimination in the spontaneous object, place, and object-place-context (OPC) recognition tests in rats. In the OPC recognition test, rats showed a significant novelty preference only when the familiarization period was 30 min but not when it was 5 min or 15 min. In addition, repeated 30-min familiarization periods extended the significant novelty preference to 72 hours. However, the rats exhibited a successful discrimination between the stayed and replaced objects under 15 min and 30 min familiarization period conditions in the place recognition test and between the novel and familiar objects under all conditions of 5, 15 and 30 min in the object recognition test. Our results suggest that the extension of the familiarization period improves performance in the spontaneous recognition paradigms, and a longer familiarization period is necessary for long-term associative recognition memory than for non-associative memory.

Unconstrained handwriting recoganization basedon neural network using connectionist temporal classification token passing algorithm

Recognition of human handwriting which offers the new way to improve the computer interface with the human and this process is very much useful for documents.Keyword spotting refers the spontaneous recognition of handwritten text, letter, and scripts from historical hand written books and the procedure of recovering all instance of a known keyword from an article. With a specific end goal to choose new components this paper, propose "a repetitive neural system manually written acknowledgment framework" for watchword spotting.The watchword seeing is finished utilizing an adjustment of the connectionist temporat classification Token Passing calculation in coincidence with a repetitive neural system. The proposed watchword spotting technique for written by hand message utilizing neural system, with another adaptation of connectionist temporat classification Token Pass calculation with quick and reliable catchphrase spotting can be executed without utilizing any content line or portioning separate words.
