Abstract

A nonlinear differential equation is used to develop a mathematical model describing the time course of thyrotropin (TSH) concentral to real data shows that pituitary responsiveness to TRH is highest in euthyroidism, reduced in primary hypothyroidism, and lowest in hyperthyroidism.

To know with the nose: keys to odor identification.

Successful odor identification depends on (i) commonly encountered substances, (ii) a long-standing connection between an odor and its name, and (iii) aid in recalling the name. The absence of any one ingredient impairs performance dramatically, but the presence of all three permits ready identification of scores of substances, with performance seemingly limited only by the inherent confusability of the stimuli.

Auxiliary spinal networks for signal focussing in the segmental stretch reflex system.

In continuation of a previous paper, the auxiliary signal focussing properties of more complicated spinal neuronal networks are considered here. Special emphasis is put on the distributive function of the recurrent feedback system of alpha-motoneurones, but also the inhomogeneous distribution of excitatory and inhibitor input to motoneurones is taken into account as an essential prerequisite for signal focussing. Simple hypothetical calculations for steady-state conditions yield a more vivid insight into the interaction of the two types of neuronal circuitry contributing to signal focussing.
