In other words, because the genes that cause AD create conspicuous neurological and behavioral characteristics that present during reproductive age, they could not have been invisible to evolutionary forces.
"This is a form of conspicuous consumption," said Hersh Shefrin, a behavioral finance professor at Santa Clara University in California.
Recently, we showed that postnatal environmental enrichment, a condition of increased physical exercise, social interactions and sensory stimulation, results in a conspicuous acceleration of visual system development at behavioral, electrophysiological and molecular level [2] [4].
The most conspicuous result is that, as confirmed by behavioral and/or neural indices, emotional distractors capture exogenous attention to a significantly greater extent than do neutral distractors.
All cases of interspecific infanticide were recorded during behavioral follows, and, given the conspicuous nature of intergroup aggression, we were able to record in detail all such events.
Most likely, the absence of age-related changes in the extent to which F levels increase in response to the acute stress, in animals with depression-like behavior, indicates a more conspicuous stress-induced hypercortisolemia in these animals, as compared with animals of other behavioral types.
The puzzling lack of behavioral response in spiny mice and the conspicuous response in voles guided us to choose these two rodent species for the present study (see Methods for more information on spiny mice and voles).
For example, several studies reveal that infection may lead to behavioral or physiological changes that make prey more conspicuous and therefore more vulnerable to predation [1], [2], [3].
Ciliates "believing" the signals to be honest, but unable to discriminate the vibration source's type, initially replied with matched or opposing behavioral signals dispersed over the range of ideal conspicuous consumption and ideal prudent savings.
DV = dependent variable In subsequent sections, we shall discuss the main data provided by these reports in detail, but a basic, conspicuous finding should be mentioned in advance: The vast majority of studies using CDTD tasks find some index (behavioral and/or neural) of exogenous attention bias toward emotional with respect to neutral distractors.
