An Alternative Strategy for Adaptation in Bacterial Behavior

In sensory systems, adaptation to incoming stimuli allows the receptor to compare the present state with the recent past and prepare the cells to respond to future changes. This record, or memory, is continually reset to optimize detection of small changes in the organism's environment. A graphic
