Exploring developmental, functional, and evolutionary aspects of amphioxus sensory cells
Amphioxus has neither elaborated brains nor definitive sensory organs, so that the two may have evolved in a mutually affecting manner and given rise to the forms seen in extant vertebrates. Clarifying the developmental and functional aspects of the amphioxus sensory system is thus pivotal for inferring the early evolution of vertebrates. Morphological studies have identified and classified amp...
متن کاملEvolutionary and developmental aspects of intersubjectivity
Humans have a unique capacity to share and understand others’ mental states. The mental states involve not only beliefs, but all forms of consciousness such as emotions, desires, attentional foci and intentions. Representing the mental states of others will here be called intersubjectivity (Stern 1985). In the philosophical and psychological debate, the capacity is commonly known as having a “t...
متن کاملFunctional and evolutionary aspects of chemoreceptors
The perception and processing of chemical signals from the environment is essential for any living systems and is most probably the first sense developed in life. This perspective discusses the physical limits of chemoreception and gives an overview on the receptor types developed during evolution to detect chemical signals from the outside world of an organism. It discusses the interaction of ...
متن کاملConservation of Brachyury (T) genes in amphioxus and vertebrates: developmental and evolutionary implications.
Homologues of the murine Brachyury (T) gene have been cloned from several vertebrates, and are implicated in mesoderm formation and in differentiation of the notochord. In contrast, the roles of the ascidian Brachyury gene may be restricted to presumptive notochord. To understand the evolution of Brachyury genes and their developmental roles, we have searched for homologues in amphioxus, repres...
متن کاملPhysical and Functional Aspects of Boshrūyeh Mills
Water can be considered to be the reason for existence and the main factor in formation of some of the traditional Iranian architectural structures. Innovative technologies such as [water] mills and water reservoirs etc. can be placed in this category. These structures are the result of the interaction of the previous generations with nature and utilising its various elements. The human of the ...
