The artificial neural networks used in a multitude of fields are achieving good results. However, these systems are inspired in the vision of classical neuroscience where neurons are the only elements that process information in the brain. Advances in neuroscience have shown that there is a type of glial cell called astrocytes that collaborate with neurons to process information. In this work, a connectionist system formed by neurons and artificial astrocytes is presented. The astrocytes can have different configurations to achieve a biologically more realistic behaviour. This work indicates that the use of different artificial astrocytes behaviours is beneficial.

More than 50 years ago connectionist systems (CSs) were created with the purpose to process information in the computers like the human brain (McCulloch & Pitts, 1943). Since that time these systems have advanced considerably and nowadays they allow us to resolve complex problems in many disciplines (classification, clustering, regression, etc.). But this advance is not enough. There are still a lot of limitations when these systems are used (Dorado, 1999). Mostly the improvements were obtained following two different ways. Many researchers have preferred the construction of artificial neural networks (ANNs) based in mathematic models with diverse equations which lead its functioning (Cortes & Vapnik, 1995; Haykin, 1999). Otherwise other researchers have pretended the most possibly to make alike these systems to human brain (Rabuñal, 1999; Porto, 2004). The systems included in this article have emerged following the second way of investigation. CSs which pretend to imitate the neuroglial nets of the brain are introduced. These systems are named Artificial NeuroGlial Networks (ANGNs) (Porto, 2004). These CSs are not only made of neuron, but also from elements which imitate glial neurons named astrocytes (Araque, 1999). These systems, which have hybrid training, have demonstrated efficacy when resolving classification problems with totally connected feed-forward multilayer networks, without backpropagation and lateral connections.

The networks acquire an altered move towards the difficulty solving skills rather than that of conventional computers. Artificial neural networks are comparatively crude electronic designs based on the neural structure of the brain. The chapter describes two different types of approaches to training, supervised and unsupervised, as well as the real-time applications of artificial neural networks. Based on the character of the application and the power of the internal data patterns we can normally foresee a network to train quite well. ANNs offers an analytical solution to conventional techniques that are often restricted by severe presumptions of normality, linearity, variable independence, etc. The chapter describes the necessities of items required for pest management through pheromones such as different types of pest are explained and also focused on use of pest control pheromones.

Biological organisms do not evolve to perfection, but to out compete others in their ecological niche, and therefore survive and reproduce. This paper reviews the constraints imposed on imperfect organisms, particularly on their neural systems and ability to capture and process information accurately. By understanding biological constraints of the physical properties of neurons, simpler and more efficient artificial neural networks can be made (e.g., spiking networks will transmit less information than graded potential networks, spikes only occur in nature due to limitations of carrying electrical charges over large distances). Furthermore, understanding the behavioural and ecological constraints on animals allows an understanding of the limitations of bio-inspired solutions, but also an understanding of why bio-inspired solutions may fail and how to correct these failures.

In this study, Artificial Intelligence was used to analyze a dataset containing the cortical thickness from 1,100 healthy individuals. This dataset had the cortical thickness from 31 regions in the left hemisphere of the brain as well as from 31 regions in the right hemisphere. Then, 62 artificial neural networks were trained and validated to estimate the number of neurons in the hidden layer. These neural networks were used to create a model for the cortical thickness through age for each region in the brain. Using the artificial neural networks and kernels with seven points, numerical differentiation was used to compute the derivative of the cortical thickness with respect to age. The derivative was computed to estimate the cortical thickness speed. Finally, color bands were created for each region in the brain to identify a positive derivative, that is, a part of life with an increase in cortical thickness. Likewise, the color bands were used to identify a negative derivative, that is, a lifetime period with a cortical thickness reduction. Regions of the brain with similar derivatives were organized and displayed in clusters. Computer simulations showed that some regions exhibit abrupt changes in cortical thickness at specific periods of life. The simulations also illustrated that some regions in the left hemisphere do not follow the pattern of the same region in the right hemisphere. Finally, it was concluded that each region in the brain must be dynamically modeled. One advantage of using artificial neural networks is that they can learn and model non-linear and complex relationships. Also, artificial neural networks are immune to noise in the samples and can handle unseen data. That is, the models based on artificial neural networks can predict the behavior of samples that were not used for training. Furthermore, several studies have shown that artificial neural networks are capable of deriving information from imprecise data. Because of these advantages, the results obtained in this study by the artificial neural networks provide valuable information to analyze and model the cortical thickness.

Biological neural computation relies a great deal on architecture, which constrains the types of content that can be processed by distinct modules in the brain. Though artificial neural networks are useful tools and give insight, they cannot be relied upon yet to give definitive answers to problems in cognition. Knowledge re-use may be driven more by architectural inheritance than by epistemological drives.

The Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are based on the behavior of the brain. So, they can be considered as intelligent systems. In this way, the ANNs are constructed according to a brain, including its main part: the neurons. Moreover, they are connected in order to interact each other to acquire the followed intelligence. And finally, as any brain, it needs having memory, which is achieved in this model with their weights. So, starting from this point of view of the ANNs, we can affirm that these systems are able to learn difficult tasks. In this article, the task to learn is to distinguish between different kinds of traffic signs. Moreover, this ANN learning must be done for traffic signs that are not in perfect conditions. So, the learning must be robust against several problems like rotation, translation or even vandalism. In order to achieve this objective, an intelligent extraction of information from the images is done. This stage is very important because it improves the performance of the ANN in this task.

So, starting from this point of view of the ANNs, we can affirm that these systems are able to learn difficult tasks. In this article, the task to learn is to distinguish between the presence or not of a reflected signal called target in a Radar environment dominated by clutter. The clutter involves all the signals reflected from other objects in a Radar environment that are not the desired target. Moreover, the noise is considered in this environment because it always exists in all the communications systems we can work with.

The design and implementation of intelligent systems with human capabilities is the starting point to design Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The original idea takes after neuroscience theory on how neurons in the human brain cooperate to learn from a set of input signals to produce an answer. Because the power of the brain comes from the number of neurons and the multiple connections between them, the basic idea is that connecting a large number of simple elements in a specific way can form an intelligent system.
