A LAYERED CONTROL ARCHITECTURE OF SLEEP AND AROUSAL

A Layered Control Architecture of Sleep and Arousal

Sleep and wakefulness are promoted not by a single neural pathway but via wake or sleep-promoting nodes distributed across layers of the brain.We equate each layer with a brain region in proposing a layered subsumption model for arousal based on a computational architecture.Beyond the brainstem the layers include the diencephalon (hypothalamus, tha

Discovery of an acoustically locating parasitoid with a potential role in divergence of song types among sympatric populations of the bush cricket Mecopoda elongata

The bush cricket Mecopoda elongata provides a striking example of sympatric intraspecific divergence in mating signals.Five completely distinct song types are found in various parapatric and sympatric locations in South India.While there is convincing evidence that population divergence in M.elongata is being maintained as a result of divergence in
