experience, it is apparent that odor memories are fundamentally different from other memories; however, the phenomenon has proved to be notoriously difficult to study under controlled laboratory conditions. Yeshurun et al.’s [3] approach of combining associative memory tests with functional magnetic resonance imaging allowed them to study how odor memories are different at the neuronal level. T...

Hierarchies of Biocomplexity: modeling lifes energetic complexity

In this paper, a model for understanding the effects of selection using systems-level computational approaches is introduced. A number of concepts and principles essential for understanding the motivation for constructing the model will be introduced first. This will be followed by a description of parameters, measurements, and graphical representations used in the model. Four possible outcomes...
