Visual Behavior: Mice Run from Overhead Danger
نویسنده
چکیده
Mice show an innate protective behavior to looming shadows approaching from above: they either run for cover or freeze in place. This newly discovered 'looming response' adds to the repertoire of stereotyped behaviors that can be utilized to study visual pathways.

Ethanol affects context memory and long-term habituation in the crab Chasmagnathus.
A shadow moving overhead acts as a danger stimulus and elicits an escape response in the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus that habituates promptly and for a long period. The effect of acute ethanol treatment on this long-term memory was analyzed. A single injection of 0.01, 0.05, or 0.1 micrograms ethanol (ET)/g given 30 min before iterated presentation of a visual danger stimulus failed to affect...
متن کاملApplication of Intelligent Water Drops in Transient Analysis of Single Conductor Overhead Lines Terminated to Grid-Grounded Arrester under Direct Lightning Strikes
In this paper, Intelligent water drop algorithm (IWD) is used to analyze single overhead line connected to grid-grounded arrester. In this approach, at first Norton’s equivalent circuit of the overhead line over lossy soil is computed by method of moments (MoM) and then for the problem under consideration, a nonlinear equivalent circuit in the frequency domain is proposed. Finally applying inte...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Instrumentation System Management Policies
Run-time trace data helps to debug and analyze the parallel programs. Obtaining and managing this data during run-time is the responsibility of an instrumentation system that incurs overhead. In its worst case, this overhead can result in severe perturbation of the behavior of the actual program. This paper presents a queuing model for an instrumentation system. The purpose is to provide a rigo...
متن کاملA REVERSIBLE WATERMARKING SCHEME FOR JPEG−2000 COMPRESSED IMAGES (FriPmPO1)
In this paper, we present a novel reversible watermarking scheme for image authentication for JPEG/JPEG−2000 coded images. Since the watermarking scheme is reversible, the exact original image can be recovered from the watermarked image. The watermarking scheme makes use of finite state machine principles. The proposed scheme is asymmetric as the watermark extraction key is different than its e...
متن کاملVision Guides Selection of Freeze or Flight Defense Strategies in Mice
In prey species such as mice, avoidance of predators is key to survival and drives instinctual behaviors like freeze or flight [1, 2]. Sensory signals guide the selection of appropriate behavior [3], and for aerial predators only vision provides useful information. Surprisingly, there is no evidence that vision can guide the selection of escape strategies. Fleeing behavior can be readily trigge...
