How Cognitive Plasticity Resolves the Brain's Information Processing Dilemma
A key unresolved question in cognitive science is whether the brain uses asynchronous or synchronous patterns of information transmission. Using an auditory learning task combined with electrophysiological recordings, we reveal for the first time that cognitive plasticity during learning transforms an asynchronous into a synchronous transmission pattern to achieve rapid, error-free performance....
متن کاملThe Diversity Paradox: How Nature Resolves an Evolutionary Dilemma
Adaptation, through selection, to changing environments is a hallmark of biological systems. Diversity in traits is necessary for adaptation and can influence the survival of a population faced with environmental novelty. In habitats that remain stable over many generations, effective stabilizing selection reduces quantitative trait differences within populations, thereby appearing to remove th...
متن کاملInformation processing in miniature brains.
Since a comprehensive understanding of brain function and evolution in vertebrates is often hobbled by the sheer size of the nervous system, as well as ethical concerns, major research efforts have been made to understand the neural circuitry underpinning behaviour and cognition in invertebrates, and its costs and benefits under natural conditions. This special feature of Proceedings of the Roy...

متن کاملHow the owl resolves auditory coding ambiguity.
The barn owl (Tyto alba) uses interaural time difference (ITD) cues to localize sounds in the horizontal plane. Low-order binaural auditory neurons with sharp frequency tuning act as narrow-band coincidence detectors; such neurons respond equally well to sounds with a particular ITD and its phase equivalents and are said to be phase ambiguous. Higher-order neurons with broad frequency tuning ar...
