The goal of this article is to familiarize readers with the adolescent developmental issues and processes most likely to affect responses to treatment for alcohol use problems. Although the need for research that blends developmental science and treatment outcome research is widely acknowledged, scant information exists about developmentally informed approaches to treatment research with alcoho...

This paper describes new genetic and developmental principles for an artiicial evolutionary system (AES) and reports the rst simulation results. Emphasis is placed on those developmental processes which reduce the length of the genome to code for a given problem. We exemplify the usefulness of developmental processes with cell growth, cell diierentiation and the creation of neural control struc...

Evolutionary developmental biology (evodevo) attempts to explain how the process of organismal development evolves, utilizing a comparative approach to investigate changes in developmental pathways and processes that occur during the evolution of a given lineage. Evolutionary genetics uses a population approach to understand how organismal changes in form or function are linked to underlying ge...
