Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

3.1K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Forced Oscillations01:06

Forced Oscillations

8.0K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Damped Oscillations

7.3K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Oscillations about an Equilibrium Position

7.0K
Stability is an important concept in oscillation. If an equilibrium point is stable, a slight disturbance of an object that is initially at the stable equilibrium point will cause the object to oscillate around that point. For an unstable equilibrium point, if the object is disturbed slightly, it will not return to the equilibrium point. There are three conditions for equilibrium points—stable, unstable, and half-stable. A half-stable equilibrium point is also unstable, but is named so...

Limits with Oscillating Discontinuities

472
An oscillating discontinuity is a type of discontinuity in which a function’s values fluctuate infinitely often as the input approaches a particular point. Unlike jump discontinuities, where the function suddenly shifts between two values, or infinite discontinuities, where the function diverges without bound, an oscillating discontinuity arises from rapid back-and-forth variation. Because the function never stabilizes toward a single value, no finite limit exists at that point.One of the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Cellular Biology

Background:

  • Gamma oscillations (∼25-100 Hz) are fundamental to cognitive functions.
  • Abnormal gamma oscillations are implicated in cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Fragile X syndrome (FXS).
  • Understanding these disruptions is key to deciphering cognitive impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings on aberrant gamma rhythms in AD and FXS.
  • To explore the link between cellular disturbances and cognitive deficits.
  • To discuss the potential of brain stimulation in understanding gamma impairments and memory.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on gamma oscillations in AD and FXS.
  • Analysis of rodent models to differentiate slow (∼25-50 Hz) and fast (∼55-100 Hz) gamma subtypes.
  • Examination of brain stimulation studies in AD models.

Main Results:

  • Abnormal gamma rhythms in AD and FXS correlate with cellular disturbances and cognitive impairments.
  • Rodent models suggest distinct roles for slow and fast gamma subtypes in cognitive processes.
  • Brain stimulation studies in AD models indicate potential causal links between gamma dysfunction and memory deficits.

Conclusions:

  • Aberrant gamma oscillations are a significant biomarker for cognitive disorders like AD and FXS.
  • Differentiating gamma subtypes offers deeper insights into specific cognitive functions and dysfunctions.
  • Targeted brain stimulation may offer therapeutic strategies for memory disturbances associated with gamma impairments.
