FOXP2 is expressed in many areas of the brain, [19] including the basal ganglia and inferior frontal cortex, where it is essential for brain maturation and speech and language development. [20] In mice, the gene was found to be twice as highly expressed in male pups than female pups, which correlated with an almost double increase in the number ...
For example, when individuals suffer from a mutation that causes them to have low levels of serotonin, there is an observed increase in impulsivity and depression [8] With neurotransmitters playing a central role in the development of aggressive behaviour, it follows that many of the gene mutations that have been implicated with aggressive ...
Behavioral epigenetics is the field of study examining the role of epigenetics in shaping animal and human behavior. [1] It seeks to explain how nurture shapes nature, [2] where nature refers to biological heredity [3] and nurture refers to virtually everything that occurs during the life-span (e.g., social-experience, diet and nutrition, and exposure to toxins). [4]
Macroevolution is guided by sorting of interspecific variation ("species selection" [2]), as opposed to sorting of intraspecific variation in microevolution. [3] Species selection may occur as (a) effect-macroevolution, where organism-level traits (aggregate traits) affect speciation and extinction rates, and (b) strict-sense species selection, where species-level traits (e.g. geographical ...
Interacting with dogs in various activities could strengthen activity in brain areas associated with relaxation and focus, a new study has found. Interacting with dogs may affect multiple areas of ...
Dog intelligence or dog cognition is the process in dogs of acquiring information and conceptual skills, and storing them in memory, retrieving, combining and comparing them, and using them in new situations. [1] Studies have shown that dogs display many behaviors associated with intelligence. They have advanced memory skills, and are able to ...
They come in all shapes and sizes. Some walk, some slither, some fly and some swim. Humans are blessed to share the planet with just over 2.1 million recognized species of animals.And scientists ...
