Fold-change detection and scalar symmetry of sensory input fields.
Recent studies suggest that certain cellular sensory systems display fold-change detection (FCD): a response whose entire shape, including amplitude and duration, depends only on fold changes in input and not on absolute levels. Thus, a step change in input from, for example, level 1 to 2 gives precisely the same dynamical output as a step from level 2 to 4, because the steps have the same fold...
متن کاملLogarithmic and Power Law Input-Output Relations in Sensory Systems with Fold-Change Detection
Two central biophysical laws describe sensory responses to input signals. One is a logarithmic relationship between input and output, and the other is a power law relationship. These laws are sometimes called the Weber-Fechner law and the Stevens power law, respectively. The two laws are found in a wide variety of human sensory systems including hearing, vision, taste, and weight perception; th...
متن کاملSymmetry Factors of Feynman Diagrams for Scalar Fields
The symmetry factor of Feynman diagrams for real and complex scalar fields is presented. Being analysis of Wick expansion for Green functions, the mentioned factor is derived in a general form. The symmetry factor can be separated into two ones corresponding to that of connected and vacuum diagrams. The determination of symmetry factors for the vacuum diagrams is necessary as they play a role i...
متن کاملFold-change detection in biological systems
Many sensory systems in cells and organisms share a recurring property called fold-change detection (FCD). FCD describes a system whose dynamics – including amplitude and response time – are determined only by the relative change in input signal, rather than its absolute change. FCD entails two important features – exact adaptation and the Weber–Fechner law. Systems with FCD include bacterial a...
متن کاملSynthetic circuit for exact adaptation and fold-change detection
Biological organisms use their sensory systems to detect changes in their environment. The ability of sensory systems to adapt to static inputs allows wide dynamic range as well as sensitivity to input changes including fold-change detection, a response that depends only on fold changes in input, and not on absolute changes. This input scale invariance underlies an important strategy for search...
