The Basis of Individuality in Organisms.
MSS. Intended for publication and books, etc.. intended for reyiew should be sernt to Professor J. McKeen Cattell, Garrisonon-Hudson, N. Y. THE BASIS OF INDIVIDUALITY IN ORGANISMS 1 INTRODUCTORY To enter upon the "higher criticism" of the concept individuality, is far beyond my powers. Even the humble attempt to think of it, in the organic realm, in what I conceive to be the simplest terms, off...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Neuronal Individuality in the Mammalian Brain
The mammalian brain is a complex multicellular system involving enormous numbers of neurons. The neuron is the basic functional unit of the brain, and neurons are organized by specialized intercellular connections into circuits with many other neurons. Physiological studies have revealed that individual neurons have remarkably selective response properties, and this individuality is a fundament...
متن کاملCellular Mechanisms of Learning and the Biological Basis of Individuality
THROUGHOUT THIS BOOK we have emphasized that all behavior is a function of the brain and that malfunctions of the brain give rise to characteristic disturbances of behavior. Behavior, in turn, is shaped by learning. How does learning act on the brain to change behavior? How is new information acquired and, once acquired, how is it retained? In the preceding chapter we saw that memory—the outcom...
متن کاملMapping the epigenetic basis of complex traits.
Quantifying the impact of heritable epigenetic variation on complex traits is an emerging challenge in population genetics. Here, we analyze a population of isogenic Arabidopsis lines that segregate experimentally induced DNA methylation changes at hundreds of regions across the genome. We demonstrate that several of these differentially methylated regions (DMRs) act as bona fide epigenetic qua...
متن کاملStem Cells: Epigenetic Basis of Differentiation
Generation of mature differentiated cells is essential for the treatment of several diseases that depend on cell replacement therapies. With the growing knowledge of transcriptome diversity in cells, increased understanding now exists on the potential to inter-convert a specialized cell type into a differentiated cell of another lineage (transdifferentiation). Transcription in terminally commit...
