Midsagittal cranial shape variation in the genus Homo by geometric morphometrics.
Midsagittal profiles of crania referred to different taxa of the genus Homo have been analyzed by geometric morphometric techniques. Comparisons between single specimens using the thin-plate-spline function suggest a generalized reduction of the lower face, associated with antero-posterior development of the braincase occurring (possibly in parallel evolution) along distinct human lineages. Fur...
متن کاملHuman Integration of Shape Primitives
This paper deals with human shape recognition. In particular, we present results relating the role of human inferior temporal cortex to the description and recognition of shapes using a parametric three-dimensional shape space. In experiments with a patient with damaged IT cortex, we show that his inability to recognize or distinguish between members of a large family of simple shapes can be tr...
متن کاملMDMA Abuse in Relation to MicroRNA Variation in Human Brain Ventral Tegmental Area and Nucleus Accumbens
Aim 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is one of the most widespread illegal drugs, used particularly by young people in the 15-34 age group. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously synthesized, non-coding and small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate their target genes’ expression by inhibiting protein translation or degradation. miRNAs are increasingly implicated in drug-related...
متن کاملOntogenetic Allometry in Shape and Flexibility Underlies Life History Patterns of Labrid Cleaning Behavior.
Body shape plays a crucial role in the movement of organisms. In the aquatic environment, the shape of the body, fins, and the underlying axial skeleton reflect the ability of organisms to propel and maneuver through water. Ontogenetic changes in body shape and flexibility of the axial skeleton may coincide with shifts in ecology (e.g., changes in habitat or feeding mode). We use the evolution ...
