Visual Aftereffects: Cortical Neurons Change Their Tune
Recent studies of areas V1 and MT in the visual cortex show that exposure to a stimulus can change the contrast sensitivity of cells and shift their peak sensitivity to a new orientation or movement direction. In MT, these shifts can correctly predict illusory changes - visual aftereffects - in movement direction, but in V1, they are more difficult to interpret.
متن کاملMusicians change their tune: how hearing loss alters the neural code.
Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss have difficulty understanding speech, especially in background noise. This deficit remains even when audibility is restored through amplification, suggesting that mechanisms beyond a reduction in peripheral sensitivity contribute to the perceptual difficulties associated with hearing loss. Given that normal-hearing musicians have enhanced auditory per...
متن کاملPhagocytosis: How Macrophages Tune Their Non-professional Counterparts
Foreign particles and apoptotic cells are engulfed by professional phagocytes (e.g. macrophages) and non-professional phagocytes (e.g. epithelial cells). These phagocyte populations exchange information to coordinate and prioritise their activities, but the nature of these messages was unknown. Recently, IGF-1 and microvesicles were identified as means of communication between macrophages and e...
متن کاملHow to tune an enhancer.
Every cell’s genome contains two main classes of functional DNA. The best understood type of DNA sequence, which was also the first to be discovered, is that which encodes RNA and protein products via the near-universal “genetic code” (1). A more mysterious but equally important class of functional DNA is cisregulatory sequence, which does not have a physical product but, instead, encodes the c...
متن کاملHow Large Should Whales Be?
The evolution and distribution of species body sizes for terrestrial mammals is well-explained by a macroevolutionary tradeoff between short-term selective advantages and long-term extinction risks from increased species body size, unfolding above the 2 g minimum size induced by thermoregulation in air. Here, we consider whether this same tradeoff, formalized as a constrained convection-reactio...
