A Spiking Neural Network (SNN) is realized within a 65 nm CMOS process to demonstrate the feasibility of its constituent cells. Analog hardware neural networks have shown improved energy efficiency in edge computing for real-time-inference applications, such as speech recognition. The proposed network uses a leaky integrate and fire neuron scheme for computation, interleaved with a Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) circuit for implementing synaptic-like weights. The low-power, asynchronous analog neurons and synapses are tailored for the VLSI environment needed to effectively make use of hardware SSN systems. To demonstrate functionality, a feed-forward Spiking Neural Network composed of two layers, the first with ten neurons and the second with six, is implemented. The neuron design operates with 2.1 pJ of power per spike and 20 pJ per synaptic operation.

The process of follicle maturation leading to ovulation is a key milestone in female fertility. It is known that circulating lipids and cytokines play a role in the follicle’s ability to go through follicular maturation and the ovulatory processes. However, the specific mechanisms are not well understood. We posit that dysregulation of granulosa cells influences the ovarian environment, which tries to adapt by changing released lipids and cytokines to achieve follicular maturation. Eleven non-lactating adult females underwent estrus synchronization with two injections of PGF2α 14 days apart. Daily blood samples were collected for 28 days to monitor steroid hormone production after the second injection. To understand the potential impacts of lipids and cytokines during ovulation, a low-dose FSH stimulation (FSHLow) was performed after resynchronization of cows, and daily blood samples were collected for 14 days to monitor steroid hormone production until ovariectomies. The lipidomic analysis demonstrated increased circulating diacylglycerides and triacylglycerides during the mid-luteal phase and after FSHLow treatment. Cholesteryl esters decreased in circulation but increased in follicular fluid (FF) after FSHLow. Increased circulating concentrations of TNFα and reduced CXCL9 were observed in response to FSHLow. Therefore, specific circulating lipids and cytokines may serve as markers of normal follicle maturation.
