Radial Symmetry, the Anterior/Posterior Axis, and Echinoderm Hox Genes
2008
20 pages; International audience; The strangeness of echinoderm pentaradiality results from superposition of radial symmetry onto ancestral deuterostome bilaterality. The Extraxial- Axial Theory shows that echinoderms also have an anterior/posterior (A/P) axis developed independently and ontogenetically before radiality. The A/P axis is first established via coelomic stacking in the extraxial region, with ensuing development of the pentamerous hydrocoel in the axial region. This is strongly correlated with a variety of gene expression patterns. The echinoid Hox cluster is disordered into two different sets of genes. During embryogenesis, members of the posterior class demonstrate temporal, …
Simultaneous and successive cognitive processes in brain damaged adults: Hemispheric and anterior-posterior effects
1988
The relationship between simultaneous and successive processing and their assumed underlying neuro-anatomical structures was examined. According to the model of Das, Kirby, and Jarman (1975, 1979) simultaneous processing, occurs mainly in the posterior parts of the brain (parieto-occipital areas) and successive processing in anterior regions of the brain (fronto-temporal areas). The theory of lateralized hemispheric specialization suggests differences in processing due to right-left hemispheric differences. A battery of measures was factor-analyzed and simultaneous and successive factors identified in 106 brain-damaged adults and a control group. The brain damaged group was divided into fou…
