A mathematical model for the mechanism of periodic pattern formation in the process of somitogenesis is proposed. It is assumed that the metameric arrangement first appears before somite formation at the stage of transition of mesodermal cells into a polarized state. The model is based on the assump
The behavior of "peak response-log intensity" functions generated by the "dark glasses model" is examined and is shown to describe previously observed light adapted behavior in cone photoreceptors. The models of Boynton and Whitten (1970) and Norman and Werblin (1974) are closely related to the dark
Cone electroretinograms are typically isolated by presenting stimulus flashes against rod-desensitizing adapting fields. To investigate the manner in which adapting-field luminance affects cone electroretinogram response properties, we measured cone electroretinogram luminance-response functions of
It is argued that visible contrasts can arise even in a line that is controlled wholly by an external radiation field. Lateral differences in the local shapes of the line absorption profile are shown to account for such contrasts. Two cases are treated explicitly: (a) a profile locally broadened by
