Using an animal model of this syndrome, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have discovered that mutations in PTEN affect the assembly of connections between two brain areas important for the processing of social cues: the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with complex cognitive processes such as moderating social behavior, and the amygdala, which plays a role in emotional processing.

Given a spatially and temporally sparse set of point measurements of the behavior of a complex but well understood system, the best way to estimate the overall system behavior is arguably to build a robust model of its physics and train that over time to reproduce the measurement field.

Since you elected not to address the issue of models capability to represent critically - important glaciation - deglaciation episodes, now I have developed an impression that certain climate scentists have to learn a lot more about possibilities that are hidden in behavior of a large and complex dynamical system.

Another example can be drawn from the energy balance model calculations for the snow / ice instability — despite all the details not in the original energy balance model, much more complex general circulation models have now been shown to have the same behavior — a citation from 1994 -LRB-!)

Mathematical models allow scientists to simulate the behavior of complex systems (like climate) and explore how these systems respond to natural and human factors.

Oddly and despite being dynamically complex systems themselves — the models (and most of the scientists) have missed this element of dynamically complex behavior.

Without doubt mathematical models are acknowledged to have great limitations in predicting behaviors of complex systems and for this reason if model outputs are to be used to support climate change policies all the limitations of models should be acknowledged and understood.

In a system such as the climate, we can never include enough variables to describe the actual system on all relevant length scales (e.g. the butterfly effect — MICROSCOPIC perturbations grow exponentially in time to drive the system to completely different states over macroscopic time) so the best that we can often do is model it as a complex nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations with stochastic noise terms — a generalized Langevin equation or generalized Master equation, as it were — and average behaviors over what one hopes is a spanning set of butterfly - wing perturbations to assess whether or not the resulting system trajectories fill the available phase space uniformly or perhaps are restricted or constrained in some way.

However, my view is that these dynamic models are sufficiently complex that incorporating a new physical reality can substantially change the behavior of these models.
