extinction Branching random walks with uncountably many extinction probability vectors By projecteuclid.org Published On :: Mon, 04 May 2020 04:00 EDT Daniela Bertacchi, Fabio Zucca. Source: Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics, Volume 34, Number 2, 426--438.Abstract: Given a branching random walk on a set $X$, we study its extinction probability vectors $mathbf{q}(cdot,A)$. Their components are the probability that the process goes extinct in a fixed $Asubseteq X$, when starting from a vertex $xin X$. The set of extinction probability vectors (obtained letting $A$ vary among all subsets of $X$) is a subset of the set of the fixed points of the generating function of the branching random walk. In particular here we are interested in the cardinality of the set of extinction probability vectors. We prove results which allow to understand whether the probability of extinction in a set $A$ is different from the one of extinction in another set $B$. In many cases there are only two possible extinction probability vectors and so far, in more complicated examples, only a finite number of distinct extinction probability vectors had been explicitly found. Whether a branching random walk could have an infinite number of distinct extinction probability vectors was not known. We apply our results to construct examples of branching random walks with uncountably many distinct extinction probability vectors. Full Article

extinction Forget the stress: retrograde amnesia for the stress-induced impairment of extinction retrieval [BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS] By learnmem.cshlp.org Published On :: 2020-04-15T06:30:12-07:00 We investigated whether cycloheximide (CHX) would induce amnesia for the stress-induced impairment of extinction retrieval. First, a single restraint stress session was demonstrated to impair extinction retrieval, but not fear conditioning. A second experiment showed that when CHX was administered immediately after restraint, rats exhibited significant extinction retrieval at test (i.e., retrograde amnesia for the stress). In a third experiment, the stress session impaired various amounts of extinction durations, suggesting that the stress inhibited extinction retrieval rather than enhancing the original fear learning. These results suggest memories for acute stress are susceptible to disruption, which could have clinical implications. Full Article
