Walk This Way
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neural mechanisms that decide when and where to walk are not well understood. In this issue of Neuron, Felsen and Mainen use an olfactory-guided orienting task to show that the superior colliculus is necessary in rodents for the normal execution of spatial locomotor choices.

Locomotion: Why We Walk the Way We Walk
The way we walk determines the energetic investment needed. Humans spontaneously alter their walking style to exploit energetic opportunities. New research demonstrates the sensitivity and timing of this optimization and opens the door to discovering the underlying mechanisms.
متن کاملInterrelations between random walks on diagrams (graphs) with and without cycles.
Three topics are discussed. A discrete-state, continuous-time random walk with one or more absorption states can be studied by a presumably new method: some mean properties, including the mean time to absorption, can be found from a modified diagram (graph) in which each absorption state is replaced by a one-way cycle back to the starting state. The second problem is a random walk on a diagram ...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Random Walk Technique to Forecasting Volatility of Iran Stock Exchange Index
Study of volatility has been considered by the academics and decision makers dur-ing two last decades. First since the volatility has been a risk criterion it has been used by many decision makers and activists in capital market. Over the years it has been of more importance because of the effect of volatility on economy and capital markets stability for stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange mark...
متن کاملOne-way infinite 2-walks in planar graphs
We prove that every 3-connected 2-indivisible infinite planar graph has a 1-way infinite 2-walk. (A graph is 2-indivisible if deleting finitely many vertices leaves at most one infinite component, and a 2-walk is a spanning walk using every vertex at most twice.) This improves a result of Timar, which assumed local finiteness. Our proofs use Tutte subgraphs, and allow us to also provide other r...

متن کاملA survey on random walk-based stochastic modeling in eukaryotic cell migration with emphasis on its application in cancer
Impairments in cell migration processes may cause various diseases, among which cancer cell metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and the disability of immune cells to infiltrate into tumors are prominent ones. Mathematical modeling has been widely used to analyze the cell migration process. Cell migration is a complicated process and requires statistical methods such as random walk for proper analys...
