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 ...
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 side? Why aren't the genotoxic effects of MRIs communicated?
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 ...
High-dose alcohol intoxication is commonly associated with impaired inhibition, but the boundary conditions, as well as associated neurocognitive/neuroanatomical changes have remained rather unclear. This study was motivated by the counterintuitive findi
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 ...
Creativity does not have to remain a mystical gift. There are specific techniques of creative thinking and I shall be describing some of them in this book. I shall also tell how the deliberate use of these techniques of lateral thinking contributed to the saving of the Olympic Games, which ...
For example, a decoder trained to distinguish leftward from rightward saccades in a likely homolog of area lateral intraparietal (LIP) generalized to distinguish between subtraction and addition [35.Knops A. et al.Recruitment of an area involved in eye movements during mental arithmetic.Science. ...
[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...
Explain the phenomenon of reciprocal inhibition. How do western boundary currents work? How can resonance cause a bridge to collapse? How does morphotology affect adaptive radiation? How did the separation of Earth's continents affect biological evolution?
Indeed, when glucose-sensing neurons are activated by high(er) levels of blood sugar30,35,36, these sugar-sensing brain cells inhibit the otherwise wake-promoting orexin system within the lateral hypothalamus, the blockade of which results in decreased alertness30. Beyond empirical and mechanisms ...
