in past, the relationship between traditional learning theories and neurophysiological theories wasn’t a close relationship. recently, new findings in neurological sciences showed relatively simple neuron mechanisms for somewhat complicated learning events, for example observational learning, one of which is mirror neurons. these neurons show that how the brain registers the activity observed a...

In the search for new catalytic activity, chemists rely on working hypotheses and their intuition. All new transformations involve a combination of design and fortuitous discovery, whether they are discovered in a highthroughput platform, or by more traditional flask-by-flask experimentation. Particular additives or ligands are typically chosen based on a mechanistic hypothesis. The beauty of t...

We challenge Cook et al.'s claim about the vagueness of the notion of action understanding in relation with mirror neurons. We show the multidimensional nature of action understanding and provide a definition of motor-based action understanding, shedding new light on the various components of action understanding and on their relationship. Finally, we propose an alternative perspective on the o...

We demonstrate the fabrication of vertical InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on large-area free-standing membranes, using a mechanical lift-off technique enabled by 2D h-BN. 30 μm-thick electroplated copper deposited epilayer (i) gives rigidity to structure, preventing crack generation, (ii) functions as back mirror and heat sink, (iii) enables one-step self-lift-off transfer LED structures fr...

A family of cyano-bridged copper(II)-copper(I) mixed-valence polymers containing diamine ligands of formula [Cu(pn)(2)][Cu(2)(CN)(4)] (1, pn = 1,2-propanediamine), [Cu(2)(CN)(3)(dmen)] (2, dmen = N,N-dimethylethylenediamine), and [Cu(3)(CN)(4)(tmen)] (3, tmen = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) have been prepared with the aim of analyzing how their architecture may be affected by steric con...

Claims to have identified mirror neurons in human cortex have been controversial. A recent study has applied an fMRI adaptation protocol to the problem and come up with novel evidence for the existence of movement-selective mirror neurons in human cortex.

Are you sitting down? Of the four rate parts, the MBS price and delivery fees are the only constant between all lenders. All mortgage lenders get the same MBS pricing and all mortgage lenders are using the same delivery fee rules, so the only difference in rates should be based on the lender’s performance – right? It should be, but it doesn’t work that way in reality, which can lead to unhappy ...
