How Brain Circuits Adapt to Changes in Sensory Experience
The cerebral cortex, the outer portion of the brain, consists of a layered structure of neural tissue that contains the cell bodies of neurons and plays a key role in perception and cognition. Although cortical circuits throughout the brain share similarities, the patterns of connections among neurons in different brain regions can vary widely. Yet, relatively little is known about how region-s...
متن کاملDecisions from experience: how groups and individuals adapt to change.
Whether groups make better judgments and decisions than individuals has been studied extensively, but most of this research has focused on static tasks. How do groups and individuals compare in settings where the decision environment changes unexpectedly and without notification? This article examines group and individual behavior in decisions from experience where the underlying probabilities ...
متن کاملHow is somatosensory information used to adapt to changes in the mechanical environment?
Recent studies examining adaptation to unexpected changes in the mechanical environment highlight the use of position error in the adaptation process. However, force information is also available. In this chapter, we examine adaptation processes in three separate studies where the mechanical environment was changed intermittently. We compare the expected consequences of using position error and...
متن کاملHow do tumours adapt to nutrient stress?
Reduced blood flow contributes to tumour hypoxia and nutrient deprivation forcing cancer cells to adapt to ensure survival. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Ye et al show that a stress response pathway including the eIF2 kinase GCN2 and its downstream target, the transcriptional activator ATF4, is critical for proliferation and survival of tumour cells after starvation for amino acids or gluc...
متن کاملHow Production Firms Adapt to War
From its inception, development economics has revered the industrialization process. Economists from Smith to Rostow to Gershenkron to Lewis have emphasized the importance of industrial factories as crucibles in which the division of labor is refined, a labor force is developed, and technical knowledge is generated and shared. And though the poorest countries with weak industrial sectors are al...
