Visual inspection of neurons suggests that dendritic orientation may be determined both by internal constraints (e.g. membrane tension) and by external vector fields (e.g. neurotr...
Neural activity appears to be a crucial component for shaping the receptive fields of cortical simple cells into adjacent, oriented subregions alternately receiving ON- and OFF-ce...
Recent work has shown that the physical connectivity of the Internet exhibits small-world behavior. Characterizing such behavior is important not only for generating realistic Int...
Software agents "living" and acting in a real world software environment, such as an operating system, a network, or a database system, can carry out many tasks for huma...
Collaboration between peers is an important aspect of the learning process and can considerably augment learning in studying complex domains. To ensure that peer collaboration occ...
