Random dropout has become a standard regularization technique in artificial neural networks (ANNs), but it is currently unknown whether an analogous mechanism exists in biological neural networks (BioNNs). If it does, its structure is likely to be optimized by hundreds of millions of years of evolution, which may suggest novel dropout strategies in large-scale ANNs. We propose that the brain serotonergic fibers (axons) meet some of the expected criteria because of their ubiquitous presence, stochastic structure, and ability to grow throughout the individuals lifespan. Since the trajectories of serotonergic fibers can be modeled as paths of anomalous diffusion processes, in this proof-of-concept study we investigated a dropout algorithm based on the superdiffusive fractional Brownian motion (FBM). The results demonstrate that serotonergic fibers can potentially implement a dropout-like mechanism in brain tissue, supporting neuroplasticity. They also suggest that mathematical theories of the structure and dynamics of serotonergic fibers can contribute to the design of dropout algorithms in ANNs.
