Center-surround interactions underlie bipolar cell motion sensitivity in the mouse retina
Nature Communications, 2022 Motion vision is critical for survival. Here the authors show that motion detection occurs already in bipolar cells of the mouse retina, which may contribute to motion processing throughout the visual system.

Business Process Simulation Survival Guide [PDF]
, 2014 Abstract Simulation provides a flexible approach to analyzing business processes. Through simulation experiments various "what if" questions can be answered and redesign alternatives can be compared with respect to key performance indicators. This chapter introduces simulation as an analysis tool for business process management.

The Impact of Survival Processing and Collaborative Inhibition on Memory Performance [PDF]
, 2016 This study examines the effects of survival processing and collaborative inhibition on memory performance. The purpose of this research is to determine whether survival processing produced more accurate memory recall than pleasantness processing, as well

Face processing limitation to own species in primates: a comparative study in brown capuchins, Tonkean macaques and humans [PDF]
, 2006 Most primates live in social groups which survival and stability depend on individuals' abilities to create strong social relationships with other group members. The existence of those groups requires to identify individuals and to assign to each of them

The survival processing effect in episodic memory in older adults and stroke patients
Acta PsychologicaIn the present study, we tested whether processing information in the context of an ancestral survival scenario enhances episodic memory performance in older adults and in stroke patients. In an online study (Experiment 1), healthy young and older adults

The effect of transparency on recognition of overlapping objects [PDF]
, 2013 Are overlapping objects easier to recognize when the objects are transparent or opaque? It is important to know whether the transparency of X-ray images of luggage contributes to the difficulty in searching those images for targets. Transparency provides

The Survival Advantage: Underlying Mechanisms and Extant Limitations
Evolutionary Psychology, 2015 Recently, researchers have begun to investigate the function of memory in our evolutionary history. According to Nairne and colleagues (e.g., Nairne, Pandeirada, and Thompson, 2008 ; Nairne, Thompson, and Pandeirada, 2007 ), the best mnemonic strategy ...

ADAM17-mediated processing of TNF-α expressed by antiviral effector CD8+ T cells is required for severe T-cell-mediated lung injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Influenza infection in humans evokes a potent CD8(+) T-cell response, which is important for clearance of the virus but may also exacerbate pulmonary pathology.
