Glial expression of Swiss cheese (SWS), the Drosophila orthologue of neuropathy target esterase (NTE), is required for neuronal ensheathment and function

Mutations in Drosophila Swiss cheese (SWS) or its vertebrate orthologue neuropathy target esterase (NTE), respectively, cause progressive neuronal degeneration in Drosophila and mice and a complex syndrome in humans that includes mental retardation, spastic paraplegia and blindness.SWS and NTE are widely expressed in neurons but can also be found i

Surgical Gesture Recognition in Laparoscopic Tasks Based on the Transformer Network and Self-Supervised Learning

In this study, we propose a deep learning framework and a self-supervision scheme for video-based surgical gesture recognition.The proposed framework is modular.First, a 3D convolutional network extracts feature vectors from video clips for encoding spatial and short-term temporal features.Second, the feature vectors are fed into a transformer netw
