Melting the Iceberg: Contrast Invariance in Visual Cortex
Neurons in visual cortex maintain their selectivity for stimulus orientation despite wide variations in stimulus contrast. Achieving this invariance is a challenge because of the iceberg effect: subthreshold responses are broader in selectivity than firing responses, and increasing contrast would bring them above threshold. An article in this issue of Neuron by Finn et al. explains how neurons ...
متن کاملSubsurface melting of a free-floating Antarctic iceberg
Observations near a large tabular iceberg in theWeddell Sea inMarch and April 2009 show evidence that water from ice melting below the surface is dispersed in two distinct ways. Warm, salty anomalies in T–S diagrams suggest that water from the permanent thermocline is transported vertically as a result of turbulent entrainment of meltwater at the iceberg’s base. Stepped profiles of temperature,...
متن کاملHow shape from contours affects shape from shading
The spatial pattern of reflected light carries detailed but ambiguous information about 3D shapes of illuminated objects. A little studied factor that affects the perceived 3D relief of 2D shaded figures is the shape of their contours. An experiment is reported in which 102 subjects matched twelve contoured grating displays (horizontal three-cycle gratings with variously shaped top and bottom c...
متن کاملWhat You Eat Affects Your Shape.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is associated with cardiac lipotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction, and a better understanding of the mechanisms involved are needed. To examine the mechanisms linking lipid overload and diabetic cardiomyopathy, Tsushima et al studied a mouse model with overexpression of ACSL1 (long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1) in cardiomyocytes (ACS-transgenic [Tg]). ACSL1 was under ...
متن کاملGender affects audiometric shape in presbyacusis.
A review of large-scale surveys of hearing over the past 50 years reveals a "gender-reversal" phenomenon in the average audiograms of the elderly. Above 1 kHz males show greater average loss than females, but below 1 kHz females show greater average loss than males. The effect increases with both age and degree of hearing loss. The difference is present whether or not the elderly persons compla...
