CNS learns stable, accurate, and efficient movements using a simple algorithm.

27 Oct 2008 We propose a new model of motor learning to explain the exceptional dexterity and rapid adaptation to change, which characterize human motor control. It is based on the brain simultaneously optimizing stability, accuracy and efficiency. Formulated ... Read more...


Motion adaptation enhances object-induced neural activity in three-dimensional virtual environment.

27 Oct 2008 Many response characteristics of neurons sensitive to visual motion depend on stimulus history and change during prolonged stimulation. Although the changes are usually regarded as adaptive, their functional significance is still not fully ... Read more...


Assortative mating and the role of phenotypic plasticity in male competition: implications for gene flow among host-associated parasitoid populations.

21 Oct 2008 Local adaptation is promoted when habitat or mating preferences reduce gene flow between populations. However, gene flow is not only a function of dispersal but also of the success of migrants in their new habitat. In this study I investigated ... Read more...
