From: Adaptive information processing of network modules to dynamic and spatial stimuli

Ramp

Periodic stimulus (mean adaptation)

Static spatial gradient (mean adaptation)

Circuits realizing this

Yes

Yes

Yes

Inflow outflow circuits with one outflow, restrictions on signal location (cannot act on output species)

No

No

No

Feedback circuits, Inflow-outflow circuits with multiple outflows and signal mediating reactions between outflow variables

No

Yes

Yes

Inflow Outflow circuits with one output, signal acting on output variable

Yes

No

No

Incoherent feedfoward circuits

Yes

Yes

No

Transcritical circuit (A diffusible)

No

Yes

No

Transcritical circuit (A diffusible), signal mediating conversion from B to A

Yes

No

Yes

Linear Inflow-outflow circuit with signal regulating inflow and outflow reactions, the latter through a diffusible intermediate

No

No

Yes

Same as previous case, but either with additional (nonlinear regulation of B to A reaction) or B to A conversion autocatalytic
