For me, numbers like "Aladdin Sane", with their repetitive circuits and overwound toy dynamics, find a parallel in the scratchy self-portraits and neon epigrams of Tracey Emin.
The triode gave musical instrument developers unprecedented ability to design circuits that would produce repetitive waveforms (oscillators) and circuits that would strengthen and articulate waveforms that had already been produced (amplifiers).
The idea was to make the cats mimic normal walking, to see if inducing such repetitive activity could reawaken circuits that Edgerton believed had been shut down by the injury.
If repetitive input reaches such circuits, the strength of their neural response depends upon the frequency at which they are stimulated, a phenomenon known as neural resonance [61].
Although it has been reported that HR could be an inconvenience in building synthetic gene circuits with repetitive parts, a precise nick between repeat sequences could hypothetically induce rationally designed HR to achieve targeted genome deletion.
The use-dependent properties of excitatory synapses have been suggested to determine their role in network function, by shaping the flow of information in neuronal circuits during repetitive AP firing (Abbott and Regehr 2004).
Optogenetics is used to delineate and control a brain circuit that drives repetitive behavior in an animal model, opening up new possibilities for the treatment of compulsive disorders.[Also see Reports by Ahmari et al. and Burguière et al.].
In disease models, we examine the synaptic and circuit basis for repetitive, compulsive behaviors by studying the synaptic role of SAPAP3 and its relation to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD -like behaviOCD -likece (Welch et al., 2007; Chen et al., 2011; Wan et al., 2011, Ade et al., 2016).
We argue that with its repetitive and well-organized mature circuit, the cerebellum makes an exquisite model for studying how transient developmental features lead to proper formation of the mature circuit.
In a separate study, MIT researchers looked into the brains of a strain of mice that exhibit repetitive behaviors to find out which circuits are abnormal in the brain during compulsive disorders.
