Theoretical Neuroscience Rising
نویسنده
چکیده
Theoretical neuroscience has experienced explosive growth over the past 20 years. In addition to bringing new researchers into the field with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering, theoretical approaches have helped to introduce new ideas and shape directions of neuroscience research. This review presents some of the developments that have occurred and the lessons they have taught us.

Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) hear rising frequency sounds as looming.
Rising sound intensity provides an important cue for the detection of looming objects. Studies with humans indirectly suggest that rising pitch can also signal a looming object. This link between rising intensity and rising frequency is puzzling because no physical rise in frequency occurs when a sound source approaches. Putative explanations include (a) the idea that the loudness of sound depe...
متن کاملSpectral edge sensitivity in neural circuits of the dorsal cochlear nucleus.
One possible function of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is discrimination of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), spectral cues used for vertical sound localization. Recent psychophysical and physiological studies suggest that steep, rising spectral edges may be the features used to identify HRTFs. Here we showed, using notch noise and noise band stimuli presented over a range of frequen...
متن کاملPotential of subliminal information displays to change drivers’ behavior
Due to a rising operation complexity of vehicular interfaces, driving draws more and more attention from the driver. To counteract, attentive interaction is increasingly being replaced by implicit means of information exchange. The problem is, however, that task difficulty still often exceeds resources available by the driver and the emergence of new technology further aggravates the trouble. B...
متن کاملDynamics of everyday life: rigorous modular modeling in neurobiology based on Bloch's dynamical theorem.
Natural, everyday sensorimotor behaviors, such as rising from sitting, typically have an intrinsic organization of several levels of analysis. Taking this intrinsic organization as key to understanding neural dynamics is neither a top-down nor a bottom-up approach, but rather a meshing of multiple centers and levels of analysis. Motor control requires body dynamics that are consistent with phys...
متن کاملGlutamatergic and purinergic receptor-mediated calcium transients in Bergmann glial cells.
Astrocytes respond to neuronal activity with [Ca2+]i increases after activation of specific receptors. Bergmann glial cells (BGs), astrocytes of the cerebellar molecular layer (ML), express various receptors that can mobilize internal Ca2+. BGs also express Ca2+ permeable AMPA receptors that may be important for maintaining the extensive coverage of Purkinje cell (PC) excitatory synapses by BG ...
