Modularity, segregation, and interactions
This commentary considers how far one can go in making inferences about functional modularity or segregation, based on the sorts of analyses used by Caplan & Waters in relation to the underlying neuronal infrastructure. Specifically, an attempt is made to relate the “functionalist” approach adopted in the target article to “neuroreductionist” perspectives
متن کاملSocial Interactions and Segregation in Skill Accumulation
This paper studies human capital investment in a spatial setting with interpersonal complementarities. A mixture of local and global social interactions affect the cost of acquiring education, and the return to human capital is determined endogenously in the market. We study how spatially segregated investment equilibria are affected by an increase in the relative importance of global vis-á-vis...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetic Interactions Reveal Biological Modularity
Traditionally, research has been reductionist, characterizing the individual components of biological systems. But new technologies have increased the size and scope of biological data, and systems approaches have broadened the view of how these components are interconnected. Here, we discuss how quantitative mapping of genetic interactions enhances our view of biological systems, allowing thei...
متن کاملModularity and interactions in the genetics of gene expression.
Understanding the effect of genetic sequence variation on phenotype is a major challenge that lies at the heart of genetics. We developed GOLPH (GenOmic Linkage to PHenotype), a statistical method to identify genetic interactions, and used it to characterize the landscape of genetic interactions between gene expression quantitative trait loci. Our results reveal that allele-specific interaction...
متن کاملGranular segregation driven by particle interactions.
We report the results of an experimental study of particle-particle interactions in a horizontally shaken granular layer that undergoes a second order phase transition from a binary gas to a segregation liquid as the packing fraction C is increased. By focusing on the behavior of individual particles, the effect of C is studied on (1) the process of cluster formation, (2) cluster dynamics, and ...
