This chapter discusses terahertz radiation-induced saturation of absorption, including incoherent and coherent saturation effects. Saturation due to slow relaxation and Rabi oscillations in various bulk and low-dimension semiconductors is discussed from theoretical and experimental perspectives. It is shown that THz saturation experiments provide a powerful method for studying the kinetics and the details of the relaxation processes in bulk and low dimensional materials. In particular, spin relaxation times in low dimensional systems at monopolar spin orientation become experimentally accessible, which are of interest for the current topic of spintronics.Less

Chapter 8 introduces a culture–behavior–brain (CBB)-loop model of human development based on cultural neuroscience findings, and proposes a new framework for understanding human development regarding both human phylogeny and lifespan ontogeny. This model posits that culture shapes the brain by contextualizing behavior, and the brain fits and modifies culture via behavioral influences. Genes provide a fundamental basis for and interact with the CBB loop at both individual and population levels. The CBB-loop model advances our understanding of the dynamic relationships between culture, behavior, and the brain. Future brain changes owing to cultural influences are discussed based on the CBB-loop model.Less
