What is cross inhibition?
Cross inhibition is when an inhibitor binds to different enzymes (e.g. dissimilar sequences, structures, or mechanisms what we call cross-inhibition), identification of invariants is a difficult task for which traditional methods may fail.
Why is it critical to the decision-making process in a bee swarm?
The bees' method, which is a product of disagreement and contest rather than consensus or compromise, consistently yields excellent collective decisions. When a hive gets too crowded, its queen and half the hive will swarm to a nearby tree and quietly wait while several hundred scouts go house hunting.
in a human brain?
Our brains appear wired in ways that enable us, often unconsciously, to make the best decisions possible with the information we’re given. In simplest terms, the process is organized like a court trial. Sights, sounds, and other sensory evidence are entered and registered in sensory circuits in the brain. Other brain cells act as the brain’s “jury,” compiling and weighing each piece of evidence. When the accumulated evidence reaches a critical threshold, a judgment — a decision — is made.
