Mouse brains wired for empathy?
including those proposed by Feng et al.7; however, it appears that a ‘one-gene-at-thetime’ approach will be required to assess such mechanistic aspects. Another pressing question is how the specificity of DNA methylation patterns can be maintained. The repression mechanism driven by methylated DNA is also largely unknown. One of the proteins that directly binds to hypermethylated CpG is MeCP2 (...
متن کاملLanguage Evolution: Loquacious Monkey Brains?
Theories about the evolutionary path that led to the neuronal network underlying human language have long generated much heat without light. Using PET imaging, a recent study suggests that monkeys share a circuit for vocal perception with humans, adding some empirical data to the debate.
متن کاملOur Brains are Wired for Morality: Evolution, Development, and Neuroscience
Psychological and neuroscience research both tell us that morality, our mental ability to tell right from wrong in our behaviors and the behaviors of others, is a product of evolution. Morality has been passed on through the course of evolution because it helps us to live in large social groups by enhancing our ability to get along and interact with others. “Building blocks” of morality, such a...
متن کاملReaching beyond the midline: why are human brains cross wired?
The crossing of nerve tracts from one hemisphere in the brain to the contralateral sense organ or limb is a common pattern throughout the CNS, which occurs at specialised bridging points called decussations or commissures. Evolutionary and teleological arguments suggest that midline crossing emerged in response to distinct physiological and anatomical constraints. Several genetic and developmen...
متن کاملNumbers guy: are our brains wired for math?
ne morning in September, 1989, a former sales representative in his mid-forties entered an examination room with Stanislas Dehaene, a young neuroscientist based in Paris. Three years earlier, the man, whom researchers came to refer to as Mr. N, had sustained a brain hemorrhage that left him with an enormous lesion in the rear half of his left hemisphere. He suffered from severe handicaps: his r...
