When Good Enough Is Best
In this issue of Neuron, Rinberg et al. show that mice use a speed-accuracy tradeoff in odor discrimination. Shorter sampling results in high performance for easy problems, and enforced longer sampling results in higher accuracy for difficult problems, but mice freely choose intermediate sampling durations and accuracy varies with difficulty. Reward value and task requirements may determine sam...
متن کاملWhen unreliable cues are good enough.
In many species, nongenetic phenotypic variation helps mitigate risk associated with an uncertain environment. In some cases, developmental cues can be used to match phenotype to environment-a strategy known as predictive plasticity. When environmental conditions are entirely unpredictable, generating random phenotypic diversity may improve the long-term success of a lineage-a strategy known as...
متن کاملWhen Six Gates are Not Enough
We apply the pigeonhole principle to show that there must exist Boolean functions on 7 inputs with a multiplicative complexity of at least 7, i.e., that cannot be computed with only 6 multiplications in the Galois field with two elements.

Novel treatment options are urgently needed for patients with serious multidrug-resistant infections seen increasingly in routine everyday clinical practice, both in the hospital and nursing home as well as in the clinic and office setting. Unfortunately, the problem is no longer confined to chronically ill, repeatedly hospitalized patients. This essay explores the role of noninferiorly studies...
متن کاملThe circadian E-box: when perfect is not good enough.
Life on earth has evolved on a photic carousel, spinning through alternating periods of light and darkness. This playful image belies the fact that only those organisms that learned how to benefit from the recurring features in their environment were allowed to ride on. This selection process has engendered many daily rhythms in our biosphere, most of which rely on the anticipatory power of an ...
