Developing stimulus-responsive biomaterials with easy-to-tailor properties is a highly desired goal of the tissue engineering community.
As the medial PFC is involved in set shifting [17], conflict resolution [3], tracking errors [18], and developing stimulus-outcome associations [19], and its task-related neural responses often occur as phasic bursts [20], [21] it is likely to exert brief yet strong influence on the NA during decision making.
During the first phase the cognitive-behavioral therapy was initiated by working towards developing stimulus control and self-control, and reducing tobacco consumption.
Except for responding to traditional stimuli such as pH, temperature and oxidation/reduction, polymer vesicles are becoming 'smarter' owing to the newly developed stimuli including electrical field, magnetic field, sugar molecules, gas, ultrasound, etc.
After another session of action-outcome contingency degradation, control mice responded equally on both apertures, insensitive to action-outcome contingency degradation; in other words, control mice developed stimulus-response habits as expected.
A different approach to active tumor targeting consists of developing stimuli-responsive micelles that release their drug load only in response to environmental or physical stimuli, such as the lower pH in tumor tissue, heat, sound, or light.
By doing so, professionals in the marketing and advertising fields have started to mix positive and negative emotional feelings while developing promotional stimuli.
We urge researchers to take into consideration the differences between perceptual abilities of dogs and humans, by developing visual stimuli that fit more appropriately to dogs' visual capabilities.
Visual stimuli were controlled by Psychlops software [C++ library for developing psychophysical stimulus; please refer to our previous study, Watanabe et al. (2010)] running on a Windows PC.
Even as he has encouraged Congress and the White House to go slow in developing a stimulus plan, Mr. Greenspan has advised Congress that if it wants to make any such package effective, it will have to be big.
