Researchers identify cloud-radiation feedback as dominant source behind differing tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) changes in climate models. The study's findings highlight the critical role of these feedbacks in shaping future warming patterns.
CEOs innovate based on stock recommendations and analyst feedback, which can foster explorative activities like R&D. However, many sacrifice long-term sustainability for immediate returns, incentivized by their compensation packages.
A USC study reveals that forming social ties relies on learning from positive outcomes, such as rewards, and tracking relational value. The findings help explain why we are drawn to certain people and how we navigate relationships, with implications for mental health and social behavior.
A groundbreaking study reveals that macrophages within muscle spindles actively participate in motor control through fast neurotransmitter-mediated mechanisms. These immune cells help fine-tune muscle contractions, providing essential feedback to the nervous system and optimizing energy use during physical activity.
A pilot study by NCCN Cancer Center demonstrates the usability of HERC in advancing equitable cancer care delivery, with all participating sites strongly agreeing on its applicability. The tool features 19 practice evaluation and change recommendations to address disparity and bias in care delivery.
A novel study found that delayed feedback improves learning outcomes for individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. Delayed feedback may engage brain regions associated with memory retrieval and confidence, bypassing impaired pathways. The study suggests a valuable tool for improving learning in TBI individuals.
A study published in Neuron reveals that neurons are wired to connect seemingly unrelated concepts, enhancing the brain's ability to predict what we see based on past experiences. Visual experience influences the organisation of feedback projections, which store information about the world.
Researchers developed a neural network model to accelerate detection of brain rhythms, reducing feedback signal delay from 500ms to 10ms. The approach shows promise for treating attention deficit disorder and epilepsy.
A team of NYU researchers developed a vocal reconstruction technology that recreates the voices of patients who have lost their ability to speak. By analyzing brain recordings, they disentangled the intricate processes of feedback and feedforward during speech production.
Hogfish use their skin to view themselves and fine-tune color changes, a sensory feedback mechanism that lets them monitor their surroundings. Researchers have found light-sensitive opsin proteins in the skin, allowing them to capture changes in light that are filtered through pigment-filled cells.
Researchers from top universities examined when to send review reminders and found that timing affects both likelihood and quality of reviews. The study suggests companies should adjust their practices to elicit more consumer feedback.
Scientists have confirmed the existence of a 'stabilizing feedback' mechanism that regulates Earth's temperature over hundreds of thousands of years. Silicate weathering is believed to be the likely cause, drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and into ocean sediments.
A research team at UNIST has identified subtropical low cloud feedback as a key mechanism driving teleconnections between the Southern Ocean and tropical precipitation. Their findings suggest that this impact is stronger than previously thought, with implications for mid-latitude climate predictions.
Researchers will investigate neural mechanisms during learning in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with and without clinical depression. The study aims to identify new knowledge about the effect of depression on the injured brain, which may lead to interventions for rehabilitation.
A novel solution uses ultrasonic technology to detect critical form of lubrication between a railway wheel and the track, reducing maintenance costs and improving safety. The automated vehicle-mounted system will communicate presence and absence of lubrication to Network Rail.
Scientists discovered that earthquakes influence tectonic plate movement, altering frequency and patterns of quakes. This finding suggests improved earthquake risk models can be developed by incorporating feedback mechanisms after an earthquake.
A new study by Portland State University assesses strategies for the Hood River watershed to adapt to climate change. The researchers found that a combination of water banking, infrastructure improvements, and reflexive feedback mechanisms can achieve overall resilience.
Researchers found that a decline in ocean oxygen can break down feedback mechanisms controlling the marine nitrogen cycle, which is essential for all forms of life. The team used a data-constrained earth system model to show that extreme deoxygenation can lead to a collapse of the ocean's bioavailable nitrogen inventory.
A new study by University of Texas at Austin researchers links sediment movement to continental drift speed, suggesting a key role for feedback mechanisms. The findings challenge existing ideas on plate interaction and may explain variations in plate speeds, such as India's rapid northward acceleration.
A new study from OpenNotes investigators finds that offering patients a mechanism to provide feedback about their notes enhances engagement and improves patient safety. The majority of patients reported understanding the content of their notes and providing valuable feedback, which led to changes in the record or care in 57% of cases.
Researchers describe how feedback mechanism works by identifying where signals go and which neurons receive them. The study reveals that higher brain regions communicate with lower parts of the brain on a near-constant basis, helping to interpret olfactory information.
Researchers at Max Planck Institute discovered a mechanism that allows cells to coordinate respiratory activity and degrade toxic oxygen radicals. This discovery may have significant implications for cancer research, as it could be used to target nutrition deficiency in tumour cells and render them more vulnerable.

German scientists used a climate model to conclude that the Sahara's desertification began abruptly 5,440 years ago due to subtle changes in Earth's orbit. The resulting desertification had significant impacts on ancient civilizations, with some of the most severe changes occurring between 4,000 and 3,600 years ago.
