Tipping the scales: auditory cue weighting changes over development.
How does auditory processing change over development? This study assessed preschoolers' and adults' sensitivity to pitch contour, pitch height, and timbre in an association-memory paradigm, with both explicit (overt recognition) and implicit measures (visual fixations to melody-linked objects). In the first 2 experiments, child and adult participants associated each of 2 melodies with a cartoon...
متن کاملTipping the scales: guidance and intrinsically motivated behavior
We propose a novel approach to learning in autonomous robots that relies on the dynamical maintenance of an actively sensitized sensorimotor loop. Very weak learning cues are sufficient to orient a robot towards the desired behavior which is then selected from the intrinsic exploratory movements rather than imposed by a control command. The learning paradigm is a form of guided self-organizatio...
متن کاملAllelic Expression Imbalance: Tipping the Scales to Elucidate the Function of Type 2 Diabetes–Associated Loci
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many genetic locations harboring variation that increases susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) (1). However, in order to leverage these exciting findings into rational personalized treatment strategies for patients, one needs to understand these loci in much greater detail. To begin with, it is far from clear how mechanistically these ge...
متن کاملEnhancing the Metabolic Benefits of Bariatric Surgery: Tipping the Scales With Exercise.
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure is regarded as the gold-standard metabolic surgery in the U.S., rivaling sleeve gastrectomy as the most common bariatric surgery procedure. In addition to considerable weight loss, patients undergoing RYGB exhibit remarkable improvements in multiple metabolic abnormalities, including remission of type 2 diabetes and improvements in insulin sensitivi...
متن کاملTipping the scales early: probing the long-term effects of obesity.
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, and obesity-related illnesses have become a leading preventable cause of death. Childhood obesity is also growing in frequency, and the impact of a lifetime spent in the overweight state is only beginning to emerge in the literature. In this issue of the JCI, Bumaschny et al. used a genetic mouse model to investigate the self-perpet...
