T er, the non-decision reaction time component, consists of the sum of encoding time T e (first panel) and response output time T r (third panel), such that T er = T e + T r. Although a unified theory of reaction time and intelligence has yet to achieve consensus among psychologists, diffusion modeling provides one promising theoretical model.
"The Last Question" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. It first appeared in the November 1956 issue of Science Fiction Quarterly and in the anthologies in the collections Nine Tomorrows (1959), The Best of Isaac Asimov (1973), Robot Dreams (1986), The Best Science Fiction of Isaac Asimov (1986), the retrospective Opus 100 (1969), and in Isaac Asimov: The Complete ...
Early life stress is believed to produce changes in brain development by interfering with neurogenesis, synaptic production, and pruning of synapses and receptors. [58] Interference with these processes could result in increased or decreased brain region volumes, potentially explaining the findings that early life stress is associated with ...
The human brain is the central organ of the nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...
These sequelae include physiologic instability, altered brain development, and abnormal neurodevelopment, somatosensory, and stress response systems, which can persist into childhood. 5,–15 Nociceptive pathways are active and functional as early as 25 weeks’ gestation and may elicit a generalized or exaggerated response to noxious stimuli ...
Radial glial cells, whose fibers serve as a scaffolding for migrating cells and a means of radial communication mediated by calcium dynamic activity, [21] [22] act as the main excitatory neuronal stem cell of the cerebral cortex [23] [24] or translocate to the cortical plate and differentiate either into astrocytes or neurons. [25]
This may bring into question the effectiveness of brain development studies in treating and successfully rehabilitating criminal youth. [9] It's a common misconception to believe the brain stops development at any specific age. In the 2010s and beyond, science has shown that the brain continues to develop until at least 30 years of age. [10]
This is over a short life-span (female about one year) where wild common octopuses focus most of their energy on mating and offspring care. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] Findings suggest that the octopus vulgaris like other short-lived species have a complex hippocampal proliferation, [ 38 ] [ 39 ] needed for spatial/navigation, and short and long-term memory.
