Epigenesis and Coherence of the Aesthetic Mechanism [PDF]

open access: greenAisthesis, 2015
Can we properly define and explain the human mind an aesthetic mind? The purpose of the paper is to answer this and the related questions that it implies. How do we understand the conceptual field of the aesthetic?

Neural correlates of epigenesis [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2006
The effect of life stress on depression is moderated by a repeat length variation in the transcriptional control region of the serotonin transporter gene, which renders carriers of the short variant vulnerable for depression. We investigated the underlying neural mechanisms of these epigenetic processes in individuals with no history of psychopathology

Preformation and epigenesis converge to specify primordial germ cell fate in the early Drosophila embryo.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2022
A critical step in animal development is the specification of primordial germ cells (PGCs), the precursors of the germline. Two seemingly mutually exclusive mechanisms are implemented across the animal kingdom: epigenesis and preformation. In epigenesis,

Ageing And Cancer As Diseases Of Epigenesis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biosciences, 2009
Cancer and ageing are often said to be diseases of development. During the past fifty years, the genetic components of cancer and ageing have been intensely investigated since development, itself, was seen to be an epiphenomenon of the genome.

The Locus of Affection. Intersubjective Life from Enaction to Epigenesis [PDF]

open access: yesPhainomena, 2020
How is it possible for me to engage in an intersubjective world? In enactivism, cognition is defined as the living system’s interaction with the meaningful world. What is missing, here, is the conceptualization of intersubjectivity.
