Abstract:
This chapter examines the causes of symmetric neurologic lesions in toxic and metabolic disease, trauma, neoplastic disease, vascular disease, and infectious disease. The importance of symmetry in diagnosis is emphasized. Symmetry can be a problem for the neurologist; especially on computed tomography (CT) scans, symmetric disease can be difficult to notice on the background of symmetric brain anatomy because the eye more quickly detects a one-sided lesion or multifocal asymmetric lesions than symmetric lesions. Symmetry of brain lesions is important to the clinician because it suggests a toxic, metabolic, or other chemically based cause. Diseases with symmetric pathology but unknown cause probably are chemically based; the clue of symmetry gives investigators an opportunity to pursue various avenues of research.

Abstract:
To prepare for the high‐speed world where Galilean relativity breaks down, we now practice the skill of thinking in different frames. Practicing this in our familiar lowspeed world will help us avoid cognitive overload when we enter the more counterintuitive high‐speed world. We examine two problems that illustrate the process of thinking in different frames. Te frst is a brain‐teaser that suddenly becomes easier in a particular frame; the second is a classic problem from introductory physics that we can solve in a new way using symmetry and frame‐based thinking tools alone. Along the way, we will learn how to use the spacetime diagram, a major tool that will appear throughout this book. Te chapter concludes with another look at accelerated vs. inertial frames, from the spacetime diagram point of view

Abstract:
Part 1 of this book deals with the practice of neurology. It comments on neurologic history-taking, including observations of patient gestures. It also discusses the neurologic examination and its quantification. Magnetic resonance and computerized tomographic brain imaging are compared and contrasted. The importance of gravity, timing of scans, and plane of section of scans are emphasized. Neurologic diagnosis and its pitfalls are discussed. Neurologic treatment, empirical approaches to therapy, and the provision of hope and reassurance are emphasized. In Part 2, symmetry in neurologic disease as a clue to metabolic cause is a major topic. Selective vulnerability of brain areas to trauma, anoxia, toxins, and other diseases are discussed. Diseases of rapid normalization including myelinolysis are described. Carotid stenosis, berry aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations and other examples of asymptomatic disease comprise a final chapter in this section. Part 3 comments on special topics in neurology. Major attention is given to neurologic terminology, its origins, evolution, eponyms, and politics. The rise, fall, and evolution of neurologic concepts are described. Consideration is given to classifications and causation in neurology. The phenomena of decussation and asymmetry in neurology are discussed.

Abstract:
So far in this volume we have considered the nature of living things and some of their key building blocks and capabilities. This has set the stage for the current section and the next where we will describe some exemplar integrated biomimetic and biohybrid systems—living machines. To place these contributions in some additional context this introduction briefly reviews the history of life and of its variety, noting some of the critical branching points in the phylogenetic tree, identifying some of the organisms that have been the focus of research on biomimetic systems, and exploring why they might be seen to be important or pivotal. We begin with the first replicators, then consider bacterial colonies, the emergence of multicellularity and of bilateral symmetry, and conclude with a brief discussion of biomimetics applied to vertebrate brain and body plans including those of humans.

Abstract:
A new type of illusion, called the antigravity slope illusion, is presented in this chapter. In this illusion a slope orientation is perceived opposite to the true orientation and hence a ball put on it appears to be rolling uphill, defying the law of gravity. This illusion is based on the ambiguity in the distance from a viewpoint to the surface of a three-dimensional solid represented in a single-view image. This illusion also arises in human real life, for example, when a car driver misunderstands the orientation of a road along which he or she is driving. Two assumptions are explored: (a) the human brain prefers to interpret vertical columns in a two-dimensional image as being vertical in three-dimensional space to being slanted and (b) the human brain prefers the most symmetric shape as the interpretation of a two-dimensional image.

Abstract:
Spherical objects — motivated by considerations in the context of mirror symmetry — are used to construct special autoequivalences. Their action on cohomology can be described precisely, considering more than one spherical object often leads to complicated (braid) groups acting on the derived category. The results related to Beilinson are almost classical. Section 3 of this chapter gives an account of the Beilinson spectral sequence and how it is used to deduce a complete description of the derived category of the projective space. This will use the language of exceptional sequences and semi-orthogonal decompositions encountered here. The final section gives a simplified account of the work of Horja, which extends the theory of spherical objects and their associated twists to a broader geometric context.
