Evolution of sensory systems

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2021
Sensory systems evolve and enable organisms to perceive their sensory Umwelt, the unique set of cues relevant for their survival. The multiple components that comprise sensory systems - the receptors, cells, organs, and dedicated high-order circuits - can vary greatly across species.

Evolution in Nervous Systems

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1991
Evolution is the unifying theme of biological thought. It is therefore surprising that until recently it has little shaped the ideas of those who have sought principles among the cells and circuits of nervous systems. After relegation to an historic approach for many decades, an evolutionary perspective in neuroscience has revived, armed now with ...

Immune Systems Evolution

2012
Animals and plants have a complex and effective immune system that protect them from invading microorganisms. The mechanisms of immunity are evolutionarily selected throughout host-pathogen interaction to be tolerant to self-antigens and to recognize nonself molecular patterns. Plants and animals share a germ line encoded diversity of receptors capable

Evolution of the complement system

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2001
The mammalian complement system constitutes a highly sophisticated body defense machinery comprising more than 30 components. Research into the evolutionary origin of the complement system has identified a primitive version composed of the central component C3 and two activation proteases Bf and MASP in cnidaria.
