Abstract This study presents a new mathematical model of the physiology plant open system development in conditions far from equilibrium. Unlike existing approaches, our is based on equations describing competition for substrate between three main compartments cultivated plants - root, stem and leaf extreme conditions. Exchange with external environment occurs through two channels leaves root s...

We investigated the origin of spike frequency adaptation within a layered sensory network: the auditory pathway of locusts. Spike frequency adaptation as observed in an individual neuron may arise because of intrinsic or presynaptic adaptation mechanisms. To separate the contribution of different mechanisms, we recorded from the same cell during acoustic and intracellular current stimulation. W...
