CHANGING THE CHEVREUL ILLUSION BY A BACKGROUND LUMINANCE RAMP: LATERAL INHIBITION FAILS AT ITS TRADITIONAL STRONGHOLD--A PSYCHOPHYSICAL REFUTATION.

Changing the Chevreul illusion by a background luminance ramp: lateral inhibition fails at its traditional stronghold--a psychophysical refutation.

The Chevreul illusion is a well-known 19(th) century brightness illusion, comprising adjacent homogeneous grey bands of different luminance, which are perceived as inhomogeneous.It is generally explained by lateral inhibition, according to which brighter areas projected to the retina inhibit the sensitivity of neighbouring retinal areas.Lateral inh

Replicative Aging Remodels the Cell Wall and Is Associated with Increased Intracellular Trafficking in Human Pathogenic Yeasts

ABSTRACT Replicative aging is an underexplored field of research in medical mycology.Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) and Candida glabrata (Cg) are dreaded fungal pathogens that cause fatal invasive infections.The fungal cell wall is essential for yeast viability and pathogenesis.In this study, we provide data characterizing age-associated modification
