Interactions between the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala support complex learning and memory.
One of the guiding principles of memory research in the preceding decades is multiple memory systems theory, which links specific task demands to specific anatomical structures and circuits that are thought to act orthogonally with respect to each other. We argue that this view does not capture the nature of learning and memory when any degree of complexity is introduced. In most situations, memory requires interactions between these circuits and they can act in a facilitative manner to generate adaptive behavior
CLIC Drive Beam and LHC Based Fel-Nucleus Collider
The feasibility of a CLIC-LHC based FEL-nucleus collider is investigated. It
is shown that the proposed scheme satisfies all requirements of an ideal photon
source for the Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence method. The physics potential of
the proposed collider is illustrated for a beam of Pb nuclei.Comment: Presented at PAC05, 16-20 May 2005, Knoxville, TN, US
Mobility and Optimal Tenure Choice
Cataloged from PDF version of article.In this paper, we offer a dynamic model of the optimal tenure behavior of an individual who faces the possibility of moving multiple times during his lifetime. We also investigate the lifetime effects of such factors as income tax, property tax, transaction costs, and mortgage rates on the household's tenure choice. The agents in the model utilize a genetic algorithm, a probabilistic search approach, to determine their optimal lifetime tenure choice path. The agents are forward looking in that they anticipate such possible events as changes in jobs, marital status, household size, or dissatisfaction with current residence. Our results suggest several housing policy implications and explain some of the empirical findings in the literature. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
