In this study we examine genetic relatedness and diversity in three of the five last remaining wild populations of dama gazelle and a...
متن کاملLumping and Splitting the Neural Circuitry of Visual Attention
Shifts of gaze and of covert attention rely on tightly linked yet divergent neural mechanisms. In this issue of Neuron, Gregoriou et al. (2012) provide interesting evidence that different functional classes of neurons within the frontal eye field contribute uniquely to these two functions.
متن کاملThe "lumping" and "splitting" of function and brain.

His world, he said, is composed of ‘‘lumpers’’ and ‘‘splitters.’’ Lumpers hold every species to have a wide range of variation. Splitters, on the other hand, hold every variation to be a new species. This same juxtaposition of those who do not differentiate...
