Neurobiology: Setting the Set Point for Neural Homeostasis
Neural homeostasis allows neural networks to maintain a dynamic range around a given set point. How this set point is determined remains unknown. New evidence shows that alterations of activity during a critical developmental period can alter the homeostatic set point, resulting in epilepsy-like activity.
متن کاملWork relations connecting nonequilibrium steady states without detailed balance.
Bridging equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical physics attracts sustained interest. Hallmarks of nonequilibrium systems include a breakdown of detailed balance, and an absence of a priori potential function corresponding to the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, without which classical equilibrium thermodynamical quantities could not be defined. Here, we construct dynamically the potential func...
متن کاملDisorders of Sodium Homeostasis
1. Renal sodium excretion is the primary determinant of sodium homeostasis. 2. Changes in sodium concentration in extracellular fluid (ECF) are associated with disorders of water balance. 3. Hypovolemia refers to losses of salt and water from the ECF, whereas dehydration is defined as primarily water loss from ECF. 4. Hypervolemia results when fluid accumulates in the ECF at a higher rate than ...
متن کاملSteady States in Metabolism
Chemical Reactions networks are widely studied in a variety of fields, including Systems Biology, Medicine, and Chemical Engineering. Analyzing chemical reaction networks is a widely studied problem going back to Guldberg and Waage in the 19th century. Despite being well-studied, many chemical reaction networks still aren’t very well understood, partly due to the complexity of naturally occurin...
متن کاملNon-Equilibrium Steady States
The mathematical physics of mechanical systems in thermal equilibrium is a well studied, and relatively easy, subject, because the Gibbs distribution is in general an adequate guess for the equilibrium state. On the other hand, the mathematical physics of non-equilibrium systems, such as that of a chain of masses connected with springs to two (infinite) heat reservoirs is more difficult, precis...
