The alternative to this new view is the one most climate experts have long held, that the variability in storminess in the North Atlantic is a function of large-scale natural oscillations in the ocean circulation.
We speculate that excess neuron numbers may be one possible cause of early brain overgrowth and produce defects in neural patterning and wiring, with exuberant local and short-distance cortical interactions impeding the function of large-scale, long-distance interactions between brain regions.
This disrupts the function of large-scale networks that support cognition.
Cognitive neuroscience approaches include a number of different methods aimed at understanding the relationship between relatively complex behaviors such as memory, attention, language, emotion and decisionmaking, and the structure and function of large-scale neural systems over relatively brief time periods (seconds).
More generally, this study also highlights the interest of large scale loss-of-function screens for characterizing the molecular mechanism of action of environmental contaminants.
To our knowledge, this kind of large scale profiling of immune function has not been done previously on greenfinches or any other passerines.
The main goal of the current work is to investigate and present the potential of the proposed numerical methods for the efficient computation of the frequency response functions of large-scale nonlinear systems, which often result from space discretization of real life engineering applications.
Aging is accompanied by substantial changes in brain function, including functional reorganization of large-scale brain networks.
Figure 7 Average total rate as a function of RT user large-scale channel attenuation.
Together with these developments, new challenges to the powers and authority of the modern state posed by the globalization of the economy and mass communications, the transformation of relatively homogeneous into ethnically heterogeneous societies, and the spread of multiculturalism, diminished the capacity of the state to function as an agent of large-scale science-based projects.
