Shining light into the black box of spinal locomotor networks.
Rhythmic activity is responsible for numerous essential motor functions including locomotion, breathing and chewing. In the case of locomotion, it has been realized for some time that the spinal cord contains sufficient circuitry to produce a sophisticated stepping pattern. However, the central pattern generator for locomotion in mammals has remained a 'black box' where inputs to the network we...

Clinical competence would, in this analogy, be the material...
متن کاملBlack Boxes
The non-structure theorems we have discussed in Chapter III rests usually on some freedom on finite sequences and on a kind of order. When our freedom is related to infinite sequences, and to trees, our work is sometimes harder. In particular, we may consider, for λ ≥ χ, χ regular, and φ = φ(x̄0, . . . , x̄α, . . .)α<χ in a vocabulary τ : (∗) For any I ⊆ λ we have a τ–modelMI and sequences āη (fo...
متن کاملShining a light on optogenetics
O ptogenetics is relatively new and has attracted much interest since the first publications from the field in the early 2000s. Both researchers and the media are fascinated by the notions it conjures of bionic implants. Notwithstanding potential applications, the technology has quickly become an important research tool in neuroscience with potential for developing a range of novel therapeutic ...

The term “Black Box” often refers to a device whose functionality we understand, but whose inner workings we don’t, or choose to ignore. This term appears a lot in a large variety of contexts within theoretical computer science, and happens to be extremely convenient to capture computations with restricted knowledge about or access to certain information. In its most basic form, a black box (al...
