We consider the problem of inference on the basis of observations. Suppose Alice has two coins, F (with probability 1/2 of landing heads) and B (with probability 3/4 of landing heads). She chooses a coin, tosses it, and it lands heads. How likely was the coin to be F? How likely was it to be B? Suppose she tosses the coin 100 times, and it lands heads every time. How likely was it to be F? How ...

Introduction: Neurohormones like testosterone and estradiol have an important role in learning and memory. The hippocampus is essentially involved in learning and memory, and is known to be a target for estradiol actions. Estrogen receptors (ERs) are highly expressed in CA1 of rat hippocampus, and mediate the effects of estrogen on learning and memory. Estradiol receptor belong to a family ...
