Some neurons show two peaks of firing rate as a function of stimulus size (De Valois et al. 1985), and more generally, length-tuned cells show similar nonmonotonicity of their inhibitory synaptic conductance (A
The nervous system is responsible for receiving information about an organism's external and internal environment as well as for generating responses to those information. It can be divided into regions - the sensory functions and the motor functions....
The Inhibitory Default State Model (Criaud et al., 2012) (Box 1) offers a different explanation of the observed reaction time increase from long to short delay periods (Fig. 2C). According to this model proactive inhibition of a response is the default mode of executive control. If the ...
Light provides a widely abundant energy source and valuable sensory cue in nature. Most animals exposed to light have photoreceptor cells and in addition to eyes, there are many extraocular strategies for light sensing. Here, we review how these simpler forms of detecting light can mediate rapid ...
(ratio of observed to maximum possible number of edges). In this example, the critical point lies where the edge density is\(\sim \)59%.aThe number of separate components;bThe size of the giant component;cThe variance in size of the components. See text for explanation. (Redrawn from ...
Therefore, the robot was able to move on flat terrain in a trot, which is a gait in which the diagonal pairs of legs move in phase, yet the two pairs together move out of phase. Since it has been reported that the sensory feedbacks to CPGs play important SCIENTIFIC REPORTS | 5 : ...
Judging by this similarity, one possible explanation for their results is that their documented AMN projections may in fact relate to LO sensory cells that were unintentionally filled. As the eyes and LO lie very close to each other on the narrow ocular tubercle, mislabeling due to unwanted ...
the biological world, whose origin turns out to lie in the principle of evolution by natural selection. These and many other examples suggest that it would not be wise to rule out a simple explanation of intelligence merely on the grounds that what our brains - currently the best examples of...
The receptors contain sensory cells that receive information and then input it into the central interneuron. The interneuron makes sure that the efferent impulses reach the effectors to necessitate a response.Answer and Explanation: The reflex arc has three major components, namely...
