Toward a Developmental Evolutionary Psychology: Genes, Development, and the Evolution of the Human Cognitive Architecture
After a century of intermittent dialogue between psychology and evolutionary biology, the outline of a synthesis between the two disciplines now appears to be emerging. The current form of this synthesis, known as narrow evolutionary psychology (Barkow et al., 1992; Buss, 1999), is the union of two specific frameworks from evolutionary biology and psychology. Specifically, narrow evolutionary p...
متن کاملDevelopmental dynamics: toward a biologically plausible evolutionary psychology.
There has been a conceptual revolution in the biological sciences over the past several decades. Evidence from genetics, embryology, and developmental biology has converged to offer a more epigenetic, contingent, and dynamic view of how organisms develop. Despite these advances, arguments for the heuristic value of a gene-centered, predeterministic approach to the study of human behavior and de...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Social Cognition Development in Children whit Autism Spectrum and ADHD Disorders: A Systematic Review Study
Autism spectrum and attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) disorders are associated with widespread social cognitive impairments that affect their social relationships. In this regard, the present review study was conducted to investigate the development of social cognition in children with autism spectrum and ADHD disorders. In this systematic meta-analysis study, published articles on the dev...
متن کاملUnilateral Hypothalamus Inactivation Prevents PTZ Kindling Development through Hippocampal Orexin Receptor 1 Modulation
Introduction: Epilepsy is a neural disorder in which abnormal plastic changes during short and long term periods lead to increased excitability of brain tissue. Kindling is an animal model of epileptogenesis which results in changes of synaptic plasticity due to repetitive electrical or chemical sub-convulsive stimulations of the brain. Lateral hypothalamus, as the main niche of orexin neurons ...
متن کاملGlutathione S- transferases and their function as a protein superfamily in plants
Glutathione s transferase (GST) is one of the largest protein and multigene families present in all plant species and other living organisms. For these proteins, which are highly inducible to stress and internal and external stimuli, several functions in plants have been identified, including implication in secondary metabolism, growth and development, detoxification of herbicides, coping with...
