Feedback Inhibition

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

The Looking Glass Self01:28

The Looking Glass Self

358
The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical...

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Effects of feedback

1.0K
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

Feedback control systems

722
Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis01:24

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

663
Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Motor Learning

Background:

  • Clinical locomotor research aims to improve walking pattern adaptation and retention using feedback.
  • While sagittal plane feedback aids adaptation, it doesn't improve retention in split-belt treadmill paradigms.
  • Frontal plane feedback's impact on gait adaptation and retention, particularly in walking, remains under-explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of frontal plane mirror feedback on gait adaptation and retention during split-belt treadmill walking.
  • To determine if mirror feedback influences stance time symmetry, double support time, and gait variability.

Main Methods:

  • Forty healthy young adults participated, divided into mirror feedback and control groups.
  • Participants walked on a split-belt treadmill, with one group receiving visual mirror feedback of their legs.
  • Gait parameters including stance time, double support time, and gait variability were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The mirror feedback group exhibited more symmetric stance time during adaptation and retention phases.
  • Mirror feedback led to more symmetric double support time upon returning to normal walking.
  • Individuals receiving mirror feedback demonstrated reduced gait variability during split-belt walking.

Conclusions:

  • Frontal plane mirror feedback can reduce gait asymmetry and promote consistent walking patterns.
  • This type of feedback may be beneficial for gait training, especially for improving symmetry and consistency in movement.
  • Mirror feedback shows potential for neurorehabilitation applications targeting gait impairments.
