The neomammalian brain is one of three aspects of Paul MacLean's triune theory of the human brain.MacLean was an American physician and neuroscientist who formulated his model in the 1960s, which was published in his own 1990 book The Triune Brain in Evolution. [1]
Robert Friedrich Wilhelm Mertens (1 December 1894 – 23 August 1975) was a German herpetologist.Several taxa of reptiles are named after him. [1] He postulated Mertensian mimicry.
Glynda-Lee Hoffmann, in her book The Secret Dowry of Eve, Women's Role in the Development of Consciousness, references the triune theory explored by MacLean and goes one step further. Her theory about human behavior, and the problems we create with that behavior, distinguishes the prefrontal cortex as uniquely different from the rest of the ...
Several experiments cannot be readily reconciled with the belief that some animal species are intelligent, insightful, or possess a theory of mind. Jean-Henri Fabre [ 159 ] (1823–1915), setting the stage for all subsequent experiments of this kind, argued that insects "obey their compelling instinct, without realizing what they do".

Reptation theory describes the effect of polymer chain entanglements on the relationship between molecular mass and chain relaxation time. The theory predicts that, in entangled systems, the relaxation time τ is proportional to the cube of molecular mass, M : τ ∝ M 3 .
