However, the use of feed-back and feed-forward mechanisms allows systems to adapt to alterations in environmental conditions, thus achieving quasi-robustness.
Patients with alcohol dependence (AD) and pathological gambling (PG) are characterized by dysfunctional reward processing and their ability to adapt to alterations of reward contingencies is impaired.
These units work in a perfectly synchronized manner to regulate the central nervous system (CNS) biochemical and physiological processes involved in cerebral blood flow, brain energetics, blood brain barrier (BBB) properties, brain development and in responding and adapting to alterations in several systemic physiological and pathophysiological alterations [ 1, 3, 8, 12- 15].
If these cells are energetically compromised, this could perturb vascular tone and impede the ability of the vascular smooth muscle cells to adapt to alteration in the microenvironment, also known as functional hyperaemia.
The MHW method adapts to underlying alterations in disease dynamics and revises its estimates on-line, i.e., with the accumulation of new observations.
This method i) adapts to underlying alterations in disease TS dynamics and ii) predicts disease TS with distinct epidemiological signatures (diarrhea: oral-fecal transmission; ARI: conjunctival, nasal, or oral transmission; malaria: vector transmission) as confirmed by Figs.
We should, therefore, be especially concerned about the possible effects of EDCs on the ability of Arctic marine mammals and seabirds to adapt to environmental alterations caused by climate change.
Our findings indicate that, even in advanced PCa, the miRNA pool adapts to regulate continuing alterations in the cancer genome to balance oncogenic molecular changes.
Since many wildlife species are unable to adapt to these alterations in their environment, urbanization is commonly responsible for a decline of biodiversity in areas of urban development.
The findings of the present study demonstrate the morphogenetic capacity of interneurons for adapting to morphological alterations of principal neurons in the cerebral cortex.
