Animals may not be stuck in time !
Humans have the ability to mentally travel forward and back in time. They can retrieve vivid memories of past events (episodic memories) and can imagine the future (planning). Although it has been suggested that this is a uniquely human ability, the evidence for subjective time travel in humans is typically based on verbal report and elaboration. Such evidence cannot be obtained from animals. H...
متن کاملStuck on a channel
Stuck on a channel ctive Ca 2 channels, according to Hudmon et al. (page 537), get their own dedicated Ca 2 sensors that cause well-used channels to open with gusto. Some Ca 2 channels, including voltage-gated L-type channels, let through more Ca 2 per opening when they are used frequently. This positive feedback, known as facilitation, allows fast-beating cardiac cells, for instance, to beat h...

It is sometimes claimed that non-human animals (and perhaps also young children) live their lives entirely in the present and are cognitively 'stuck in time'. Adult humans, by contrast, are said to be able to engage in 'mental time travel'. One possible way of making sense of this distinction is in terms of the idea that animals and young children cannot engage in tensed thought, which might se...
متن کاملIndividuals with episodic amnesia are not stuck in time.
The metaphor that individuals with episodic amnesia due to hippocampal damage are "stuck in time" persists in science, philosophy, and everyday life despite mounting evidence that episodic amnesia can spare many central aspects of temporal consciousness. Here we describe some of this evidence, focusing specifically on KC, one of the most thoroughly documented and severe cases of episodic amnesi...
متن کاملPassively stuck: death does not affect gecko adhesion strength.
Many geckos use adhesive toe pads on the bottom of their digits to attach to surfaces with remarkable strength. Although gecko adhesion has been studied for hundreds of years, gaps exist in our understanding at the whole-animal level. It remains unclear whether the strength and maintenance of adhesion are determined by the animal or are passively intrinsic to the system. Here we show, for the f...
