Organic Context of Short-term Behavioral Adaptation
... An early investigator in plant adaptation was Darwin. He noted that the tip of canary grass tipped toward the light because the tip was sensitive to the light, but that the extra growth occurred well below the tip. Darwin showed this by covering the tip but not where the growth took place. He showed ...

As deoxyhemoglobin is paramagnetic, a reduction in its concentration results in an increase in the homogeneity of the static magnetic field, which yields an increase in the gradient-echo MRI signal. Given that ...
