How does lateral inhibition enhance the perception of a stimulus? Explain how tricking the brain into thinking that estrogen levels in the body are low and the decreased negative feedback are related. Why would these factors lead to the stimulation of the ovaries?
How does MDMA differ from the other amphetamines in terms of its effects at the synapse? How does lateral inhibition enhance the perception of a stimulus? Why might it be advantageous for humans to have a brain in which some cognitive functions, such as language, are processed by only one ...
The first example shows how the approach helps reach insights into the behavior of a contact-mediated lateral inhibition system and compares the results to a subsequent mathematical analysis of the same system. The second example shows how a short series of simulated experiments in a rich ...

Terminal differentiation is a process that leads to a variety of different types of differentiated cells from a single precursor cell. This process occurs during embryonic development, as well as in many tissues during postnatal life. It is controlled by a mechanism called lateral inhibition, where...
A contrast computation is also at the basis of all lateral inhibition signals51, of the color system52, of boundary detection53, and perhaps even of visual categorization54. This idea that the contrast or difference between two stimuli is critical for determining search performance is also ...
[64], thus reducing transpiration and water loss, as well as the inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis [65], which together led to a reduced carbon dioxide concentration inside the leaf, reduced carboxylation, and lower plant productivity [8,9,66]. Under mild drought, despite maintaining osmotic ...
Flexibility surrounding the lateral gate allows substrates to enter from the hydrophobic membrane’s inner leaflet. With binding of ATP, ABCB1 isomerizes to the outward-facing state, thereby rearranging the drug-binding pocket to reduce substrate affinity. The flexibility of the TM helices near ...
Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic agent that causes sepsis and meningitis in pigs and humans. S. suis infections are responsible for large economic losses in pig production. The lack of effective vaccines to prevent the disease has promoted the extensive
[144,145] there is a significant decrease in the percentage of slow muscle fibers (type I) expressing the slow MyHC isoform and an increase in fast fibers expressing the fast MyHC isoforms (IIA, IId/x types and IIB type in rodents) in soleus and lateral head of quadr...
