Mesoscopic Neural Networks - 3 - Lester Ingber V ′ = G Σ V ′ ′

A series of papers over the past decade [the most recent being L. Ingber, Phys. Rev. A 44, 4017 (1991)] has developed a statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI), deriving aggregate behavior of experimentally observed columns of neurons from statistical electrical-chemical properties of synaptic interactions, demonstrating its capability in describing large-scale properties of sh...

Differentiation of Cells of the Rana pipiens Gastrula in Unconditioned Medium 1 by LESTER G . BARTH

INSTANCES of differentiation in absence of an inductor have multiplied to such extent that the classical picture of embryonic induction is in process of serious re-examination (Grobstein & Parker, 1958; Nieukoop, 1955; Trinkaus & Groves, 1955). Questioned on the basis of the occurrence of neural differentiation without organizer in explants of presumptive epidermis (Barth, 1941; Holtfreter, 194...

Lester Workshop

Superfi cial scald of apples and pears, which manifests as brown or black patches on the fruit skin, results from necrosis of the hypodermal cortical tissue (Bain and Mercer, 1963) and is thought to be induced by oxidation products of the sesquiterpene (E,E)-α-farnesene (Anet, 1972a; Huelin and Coggiola, 1970a, 1970b; Huelin and Murray, 1966). Synthesis of sesquiterpenes in plant tissues occurs...

Ideas by Statistical Mechanics ( ISM ) † Lester Ingber Lester Ingber Research ( LIR )

Ideas by Statistical Mechanics (ISM) is a generic program to model evolution and propagation of ideas/patterns throughout populations subjected to endogenous and exogenous interactions. The program is based on the author’s work in Statistical Mechanics of Neocortical Interactions (SMNI), and uses the author’s Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) code for optimizations of training sets, as well as...
