Enlarged housing space and increased spatial complexity enhance hippocampal neurogenesis but do not increase physical activity in mice [PDF]

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2023
IntroductionEnvironmental enrichment (EE) improves various health outcomes, such as hippocampal neurogenesis, in rodents, which is thought to be caused, in part, by increased physical activity.

Altered Microstate Dynamics and Spatial Complexity in Late-Life Schizophrenia [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
BackgroundResting-state EEG microstate and omega complexity analyses have been widely used to explore deviant brain function in various neuropsychiatric disorders. This study aimed to investigate the features of microstate dynamics and spatial complexity

Environmental enrichment: a systematic review on the effect of a changing spatial complexity on hippocampal neurogenesis and plasticity in rodents, with considerations for translation to urban and built environments for humans [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionHippocampal neurogenesis is critical for improving learning, memory, and spatial navigation. Inhabiting and navigating spatial complexity is key to stimulating adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in rodents because they share similar ...

Spatial complexity facilitates ordinal mapping with a novel symbol set. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
The representation of number symbols is assumed to be unique, and not shared with other ordinal sequences. However, little research has examined if this is the case, or whether properties of symbols (such as spatial complexity) affect ordinal learning ...

The spatial complexity of optical computing: toward space-efficient design [PDF]

Nature Communications
Similar to algorithms, which consume time and memory to run, hardware requires resources to function. For devices processing physical waves, implementing operations needs sufficient “space,” as dictated by wave physics.

Predator-Prey Relationship between Urban Bats and Insects Impacted by Both Artificial Light at Night and Spatial Clutter

Biology, 2022
Predators respond to the increase of prey by aggregation in space or foraging more often. However, foraging habitat suitability limits predators’ responses.

A Comparison of Size, Shape, and Fractal Diversity Between Coral Rubble Sampled From Natural and Artificial Coastlines Around Okinawa Island, Japan

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Substrate surface area and fractal complexity have been reported to influence the abundance and diversity of mobile cryptic animal communities. Surfaces with higher fractal dimensions not only offer additional space for colonization, but bias space ...

A Ubiquitous Collective Tragedy in Transport

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
A tragedy of the commons is said to occur when individuals act only in their own interest but, in so doing, create a collective state of a group that is less than optimal due to uncoordinated action.

The study of fractals among ecologists - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v34i1.7701

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2011
Fractals seemed to have permeated most scientific fields, including ecology. In fact, biodiversity and ecological processes are affected by spatial complexity, and fractals can help understand patterns at multiple scales.
