Axons Compete for Neuromuscular Junctions

During development, motor neurons in the spinal cord send out axons to connect with muscle. Each axon creates a profusion of branches, each with the potential to innervate the muscle fiber at its neuromuscular junction (NMJ). There are so many excess branches that in the immature animal, axon terminals from multiple neurons crowd each junction. But in short order, the excess is pared away, and ...

Big secrets do not necessarily cause hills to appear steeper.

Slepian, Masicampo, Toosi, and Ambady (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 141, 619-624, 2012, Study 1) found that individuals recalling and writing about a big, meaningful secret judged a pictured hill as steeper than did those who recalled and wrote about a small, inconsequential secret (with estimates unrelated to physical effort unaffected). From an embodied cognition perspective, ...

The central aim of this paper and its projected successors is to prove in detail that stimulus-response theory, or at least a mathematically precise version, can give an account of the learning of many phrase-structure grammars. Section 2 is concerned with standard notions of finite and probabilistic automata. An automaton is defined as a device with a finite number of internal states. Section ...
