Key takeaways

Georg F. Striedter belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Georg F. Striedter to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Georg F. Striedter from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Georg F. Striedter is an American scientist and professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of more than 30 papers in evolutionary neuroscience and the author of the book Principles of Brain Evolution. He is also the editor-in-chief of Brain, Behavior and Evolution. Striedter obtained his PhD in neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego, under the supervision of Glenn Northcutt in 1990. He then pursued postdoctoral research at Caltech with Mark Konishi. His research focuses on the organization and evolution of neuronal circuits in teleost fishes, the evolution of neuronal circuits for bird song learning in parrots and songbirds and how evolution modifies the processes of brain development to generate a broad diversity of adult brains.

Awards Striedter received the C. J. Herrick Award in 1998 for his contributions to comparative neuroanatomy. His book, Principles of Brain Evolution has been positively received by his academic colleagues (see the commentaries to his Precis of The Principles of Brain Evolution in Behavioral and Brain Sciences). He has also received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009 to work on a new book, "provisionally titled Functional neurobiology: the human nervous system explored in light of the problems it helps us solve."

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Georg F. Striedter

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Georg F. Striedter claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Georg F. Striedter before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Georg F. Striedter ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Georg F. Striedter

In research: Georg F. Striedter appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Georg F. Striedter in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Georg F. Striedter is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American academic journal editors, American biologist stubs, American neuroscientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Georg F. Striedter outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
