The biological motivation behind is that it coarsely replicates lateral inhibition mechanisms in which neighboring similar features inhibit each other via specific, anatomically defined connections [30].
Even though the inhibitory unit is modeled explicitly, this network corresponds to a network with self-exciting units that mutually inhibit each other, 53 except for the delayed inhibition caused by the inhibitory unit.
Because of a neural phenomenon called "mutual inhibition," two opposing moral systems can live in brain circuits that inhibit each other and are active in different contexts.
Pyramidal populations inhibit each other via a common pool of inhibitory neurons (i, 400 neurons).
States of pain, panic, monotony, or fatigue may create conditions in which various senses mask or inhibit each other.
Additional results from this study suggest that iodide and perchlorate competitively inhibit each other for uptake by pendrin.
The inter-hemispheric competition hypothesis proposes that functional lateralisation arises from the competition between the hemispheres that inhibit each other via the corpus callosum.
But farmers could not use the same inoculant for all crops, both because plants use different bacteria and because certain bacteria inhibit each other.
Upon learning that several nitrogen-fixing bacteria did not inhibit each other, however, the patent applicant combined them into a single inoculant and obtained a patent.
Indeed, the plants tend to inhibit each other so planting more heavily than recommended can actually cause a substantially weaker stand.
The idea was to engineer a circular section of DNA with two genes that inhibit each other, so the first gene is on while the second one is off, and vice versa.
