Disruption of T helper 2-immune responses in Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3-deficient mice.

abstract：:In making sense of the visual world, the brain's processing is driven by two factors: the physical information provided by the eyes ("bottom-up" data) and the expectancies driven by past experience ("top-down" influences). We use degraded stimuli to tease apart the effects of bottom-up and top-down processes because t...
