Extending epigenesis: from phenotypic plasticity to the bio-cultural feedback [PDF]
Biology and Philosophy, 2017 The paper aims at proposing an extended notion of epigenesis acknowledging an actual causal import to the phenotypic dimension for the evolutionary diversification of life forms.

Abstract The notion that phenotypic traits, including behavior, can be predetermined has slowly given way in biology and psychology over the last two decades. This shift in thinking is due in large part to the growing evidence for the fundamental role of developmental processes in the generation of the stability and variations in phenotype that ...

This paper examines the data on which the Demands and Capacities Model (DCM) is based with the purpose of identifying areas where future research might determine consilience among genetic influences at the physiological, behavioral, and cultural levels.

AbstractIt is becoming increasingly clear that little in development is predetermined or permanently fixed. Rather, gene expression is activity dependent, and epigenesis is probabilistic. So, the study of genetic disorders needs to change from the still widely held view that developmental disorders can be accounted for in terms of intact versus ...

Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 2000
I begin by examining how genetics drives schizophrenia research, and raise both familiar and relatively novel criticisms of the evidence putatively supporting the genetic basis of schizophrenia. In particular, I call attention to a set of concerns about the effects of placentation on concordance rates of schizophrenia in monozygotic twins, which ...

The probabilistic epigenesis of knowledge
2006Publisher Summary This chapter outlines an approach that takes knowledge acquisition as an instance of a striking but general, developmental phenomenon, the emergence of new structure. This approach circumvents many of the logical problems of knowledge acquisition and provides a rational framework for integrating seemingly disparate developmental ...

Studies employing event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) were designed to study the effects of different types of language experience on the development and organization of neural systems important in language processing.

Mechanisms of Disease: Epigenesis
Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2007Genome-wide epigenetic modification plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression through chromatin structure and stability, tissue-specific and embryonic developmental specific gene regulation, and genomic imprinting. Mechanisms include chromatin remodeling through histone modification and DNA methylation, RNA associated gene silencing and ...

AbstractMealey distinguishes two types of sociopathy: (1) “primary,” or obligate, and (2) “secondary,” or facultative. Either sociopathy evolved twice, or one form is derived from the other, e.g., through: (1) genetic assimilation generating polymorphism in the relative strength of biases favoring the development of otherwise facultative strategies, or

Cancer and Epigenesis: A Developmental Perspective
Advances in Pediatrics, 2003Traditionally, molecular geneticists have studied the genome, that is, DNA. This has included its sequencing, with identification of promoters, enhancers, introns, exons, and mutations. During the last 10 to 15 years, it has become clear that this study of "naked" DNA imposed major limitations on our understanding of gene regulation, and that DNA must ...
