<blockquote>
<p style="margin-left: 2%; margin-right: 6%; font-size: 1.0em; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">
"It is impossible to devise an experiment without a preconceived idea; devising an experiment, we said, is putting a question ; we never conceive a question without an idea which invites an answer. I consider it, therefore, an absolute principle that experiments must always be devised in view of a preconceived idea, no matter if the idea be not very clear nor very well defined."</p>

==={{pl|Arnold Dohmen}}===


Arnold Dohmen (born August 2, 1906 in Buchholz/[[Duisburg]], Germany), was a German physician specialized in internal medicine and bacteriology who performed human experimentation in Nazi concentration camps. 

Internist und klinische Bakteriologe  Arnold Dohmen (geb. 2.8.1906 in
Buchholz/Duisburg) gehörte bei Kriegsbeginn zur Medizinischen Klinik von
Prof. H.H. Berg in Hamburg Eppendorf, wo er bis Ende des Krieges blieb. Ab
Mai 1940 nahm er am "Frankreichfeldzug" teil, er gehörte zur 20. Division
(mot.), 1. San. Kompanie.  Hier führte er in St. Honoré eine erste
Untersuchung über eine Gelbsuchtepidemie durch, die später im Deutschen
Militärarzt publiziert wurde. Im Nov. 1940 wurde er nach Hamburg
zurückversetzt, um dort seine Habil. Zum Thema Weilsche Krankheit
(Spirochäten-Infektion) zu Ende zu bringen (Aussprache 19.2.1941).  Anfang
April 1941 wurde er noch einmal nach Frankreich eingezogen, wo er u.a.
Untersuchungen am Institut Pasteur durchführte.

Lefebvre 2008:

"Unfortunately, brain imaging studies are usually conducted on single species and almost never compare animals that show lifestyle differences likely to affect cognition. A remarkable exception is the work of Goodson and co-authors on the neural basis of avian sociality. The work from this group uses state-of-the-art neuroscience techniques to, among other things, map the receptor density

of neuropeptides involved in sociality; the sample of species is remarkably broad for this kind of study (five), and the authors distinguish cases of independent and phylogenetically-correlated evolution. The studies identify neurohormone receptor site differences that correlate with sociality differences in 13 different brain centers ranging from the sub-pallial septum to the stria terminalis,

the hypothalamus and the hippocampus [see table 1 in Goodson et al., 2006]."

and

"It would be interesting if Goodsons comparative research program on sociality and fine level neuronal measures could address the assumptions of brain size research, for example by looking at the relationship between neuropeptide receptor density and size of structures involved in sociality such as the amygdala, the septal complex, the hypothalamus and the hippocampus."

More from Carroll 2005:

"Thus, while the coding sequences of the structural and regulatory proteins are constrained by pleiotropy, modular cis-regulatory regions enable a great diversity of patterns to arise from alterations in regulatory circuits through the evolution of novel combinations of sites for regulatory proteins in cisregulatory elements [35]."

35. Gompel N, Prudhomme B, Wittkopp PJ, Kassner VA, Carroll SB (2005) Chance caught on the wing: Cis-regulatory evolution and the origin of pigment patterns in Drosophila. Nature 433: 481487.

and

"A standard

comparative analysis of the FOXP2

coding sequences of humans and songlearning

and non-learning birds did

not reveal any amino acid substitutions

that were shared between song-learning

birds and humans, nor any fixed

differences between song-learning

and non-learning birds. The study

concluded there was no evidence for

its [FOXP2] role during the evolution

of vocal learning in nonhuman

animals [67].

In great contrast, when FOXP2

mRNA and protein expression in

the developing and adult brains of

a variety of song-learners and nonlearners

were examined, a striking

increase in FOXP2 expression was

observed in Area X, a center necessary

for vocal learning that is absent from

non-learners [68] (Figure 3A3C).

This increase occurs in zebra finches

over the developmental period when

vocal learning occurs. Furthermore,

in adult canaries, seasonal changes

in FOXP2 expression were observed

in Area X, associated with changes in

the stability of the birds song (Figure

3D3F). Thus, remarkable changes in

the regulation of FOXP2, but not the

protein sequence, are correlated with

the development and evolution of

vocal learning in birds. These changes

could arise through the evolution of

FOXP2 cis-regulatory sequences, or of

the regulatory or coding sequences

of transcription factors that control

FOXP2."

MANATEE gene annotation software [http://manatee.source forge.net/]



Rehkämper 1991

"Besides diversification, which obviously occurs, parallel evolution may be one of the general features of evolutionary development."

("The difference between parallelism and convergence is whether the two groups, which developed this similarity independently, originate from a common ancestor (parallelism) or not (convergence). However, both have responded to the same selective pressure or have followed the same adaptive trends. This we would like to call "parallel evolution ". It should be stressed that "parallel evolution" does not implicate a decision between convergence and parallelism.")



"brain structure in birds has been studied to test

the hypothesis that, if a considerable adaptive ability

is given, this should be correlated with an expansion

of multimodal integrative areas in the brain."

- also provides data on connectivity patterns in avian and mammalian brains:

"A comparison of the connectivity of the various areas

of the mammalian neocortex with that of the avian ventral

hyperstriatum/neostriatum complex reveals further

similarities, which can now be interpreted as a functional

similarity. The brain regions comprise primary target

areas of the three major sensory systems (visual, auditory

and somatosensory) in the mammalian as well as in the

avian telencephalon. A primary output area can be defined

in both classes. In both classes the primary areas

are surrounded by secondary areas, which are interconnected

with the respective primary areas, e.g. the primary

visual cortex in mammals is connected with a neighbouring

secondary area (Zilles 1985; Zilles and Wree 1985).

This corresponds to the ectostriatum in the pigeon with

a core and a belt region (Karten and Hodos 1970;

Ritchie 1979). The mammalian auditory cortex exhibits

a core (primary) and a belt (secondary) region (Patterson

977), which correspond to the primary area Ne 12 with

the secondary areas Ne 13 and 14 (Rehk/imper et al.

1985). Finally, the mammalian somatosensory cortex

follows the same scheme (Pandya and Yterian 1985).

The equivalent areas in birds are the primary area Ne 1

and the secondary area Ne 2 (Rehk/imper et al. 1985).

The most important aspect, however, is that not only

in the mammalian neocortex, but also in the avian neostriatum

and ventral hyperstriatum, a considerably large

region is occupied by tertiary areas."



Furthermore: "Deduced from a Darwinian theory of evolution with

the central argument of adaptation, it has been hypothesized

that parallel evolution in mammals and birds

should also be found in the brain of both classes. Mammalian

brain evolution is characterized by progressive

encephalization, e.g. in primates, which are a biologically

advantageous group. This progressive encephalization

is mainly a progressive telencephalization, especially

neocorticalization. Principally, the same is found in

birds. Architecture and connectivity of the quantitatively

most progressive brain parts support the hypothesis that

this progression is primarily an enlargement of

multimodal integrational capacities, both in mammals

and in birds. That points to a strongly adaptive character

of neocorticalization and a biological advantage of increased

integrational capacities. It can be concluded that

there is strong selective pressure, which acts in a similar

way in mammals and in birds and leads to parallel brain

evolution."

To take the whole developmental pathway into account, it is not enough to consider the expression patterns of more than one gene and the control cascades in which these genes are involved. it is necessary to study, in addition, the epigenetic properties of development (Müller and Newman, 1999), that is, the generic properties of molecules, cells and tissues, and the interaction dynamics among them."

From Ramus 2006:

"James Blair, reviewing extensive data from developmental psychopathy, upgrades

his former Violence Inhibition Model to the Integrated Emotions Systems. In so

doing, he provides extremely speciWc hypotheses (and a wealth of data) on how

genetic anomalies, aVecting a speciWc part of the emotion system, may alter its development

and lead to a relatively speciWc cognitive disorder. Although the genetics of

psychopathy remains to be researched, the neuro-cognitive part of the model is

remarkably well speciWed, so much so that it appears to be the first model of a specific

cognitive developmental disorder that is ready for full integration with biological

detail at the molecular level."

==={{pl|Encephalization}}===

Rehkämper 1991:

"Annelids, arthropods (especially insects)

and mollusks (especially octopods) are well known

to be highly encephalized (Bullock and Horridge 1965;

Young 1971; Maddock and Young 1987). A brain part

is found in all these groups that is organized in the same

way as the vertebrate integrational areas. In annelids,

it is their "midbrain" with the corpora pedunculata.

In insects and chelicerates, this part is the protocerebrum

(corpora pedunculata, protocerebral bridge, central

body), which is interconnected with all other brain parts.

It modulates indirectly the motor output. In octopods,

it is the vertical lobe that is organized as an integrational

centre. It has been proven that the vertical lobe is involved

in complex behaviour and learning (Wells 1978).

All these vertebrate and non-vertebrate groups are

highly encephalized and dominating elements in the recent

fauna. Thus, it can be assumed that the recent fauna

in general is strongly influenced by the biological advantage

of developing multimodal integrational capacities."

*quote from [http://www.edge.org/q2006/q06_4.html#smolin Seeing Darwin in the light of Einstein; seeing Einstein in the light of Darwin]
<blockquote>
The basic method of science after Einstein seems to be: identify something in your theory that is playing the role of an absolute background, that is needed to define the laws that govern objects in your theory, and understand it more deeply as a contingent property, which itself evolves subject to law.

For example, before Einstein the geometry of space was thought of as specified absolutely as part of the laws of nature. After Einstein we understand geometry is contingent and dynamical, which means it evolves subject to law. This means that Einstein's move can even be applied to aspects of what were thought to be the laws of nature: so that even aspects of the laws turn out to evolve in time.

The basic method of science after Darwin seems to be to identify some property once thought to be absolute and defined a prior and recognize that it can be understood because it has evolved by a process of or akin to natural selection. This has revolutionized biology and is in the process of doing the same to the social sciences.

We can see by how I have stated it that these two methods are closely related. Einstein emphasizes the relational aspect of all properties described by science, while Darwin proposes that ultimately, the law which governs the evolution of everything else, including perhaps what were once seen to be laws-is natural selection.

Should Darwin's method be applied even to the laws of physics?   Recent developments in elementary particle physics give us little alternative if we are to have a rational understanding of the laws that govern our universe. I am referring here to the realization that string theory gives us, not a unique set of particles and forces, but an infinite list out of which one came to be selected for our universe. We physicists have now to understand Darwin's lesson:  the only way to understand how one out of a vast number of choices was made, which favors improbably structure, is that it is the result of evolution by natural selection.

==={{pl|Expertise}}===
Some notes on Larry Sanger's essay "The Fate of Expertise After Wikipedia" (Episteme 2009, ###add issue no. + online link###  ):
*Larry mentions that [[Wikipedia]] exists in over 200 languages but most if not all his remarks are made with respect to the English Wikipedia and not necessarily applicable to other language versions

*"The topic is well focused by this paradox: are [[expert]]s still needed when Wikipedia has succeeded, apparently, without them? I think they are; my aim in this paper is to reduce the sense of paradox."
:This reminds me of the [[plot (arts)|plot]] typical for [[Hollywood]] [[movie]]s: Create an artificial problem and spend the rest of the time solving it. Larry's paradox above rests entirely on the ambiguity of what the reader may understand under "without them". If Larry had used a more precise phrasing, the resolution of the paradox would probably have been very easily visible (and his article shorter). To put it in different words:
 Are [[vitamine]]s still needed when [[mankind]] has succeeded, apparently, without them?
can be understood as, e.g.,
#Are vitamines still needed when mankind has succeeded, apparently, without ''being able to [[synthesis (biochemistry)|synthesize]]'' them?
or
#Are vitamines still needed when mankind has succeeded, apparently, without ''ingesting'' them?
The former "apparentness" appears to me to be clearly more "apparent" than the latter.
In the Wikipedia context, the vitamines would be pieces of [[knowledge]] (similar to what [[Google]] dubbed ''[[knol]]s'') which have to be "ingested" by the project, i.e. entered by some sort of experts, and collaboratively rephrased. Given the wide range of topics covered at Wikipedia, [[expertise]] will have to be understood in terms of these subjects (and [[gradient]]s in expertise - beyond "know-nothings" and "know-somethings", as Larry put it - should be kept in mind): Frequent watchers of some TV series may be regarded as experts in [[sitcom]]ology, while [[homeless]] people, should they be connected to the [[internet]] and edit Wikipedia, could certainly contribute expert knowledge on [[street life]] and related articles, whereas many who worked professionally on a topic (including having studied it academically) would probably meet the criteria of more traditional definitions of expertise.

The important thing is that most of the knowledge entered into Wikipedia (with the exception of the WP name space and thelike) is acquired outside Wikipedia, just like vitamines are being synthesized outside our bodies. Wikipedia and our bodies are thus [[open system]]s, permitting the exchange of information, matter (and heat) with their respective environments. Consequently, the fate of Wikipedia will certainly depend on the regular availability of expert attention (which is a scarce resource in many fields), rather independent of the precise internal rules.

*The article contains no figures (or equations, for that matter) but lots of footnotes (not even clickable), making it tedious for me to digest it (my field is [[neuroimaging]], and I have developed the habit to look at the figures and equations first before deciding whether to dive deeper into an article).
:Example:
:(p. 61) "Imagine a database of research in which new findings are not published in papers that are put into volumes, but appended in various places to a single, collaboratively-managed outline of knowledge."22
:(Footnotes section, p. 72) 22 I am far from being the only one to have suggested this, but I developed the idea at some length in my (2006a).
:(Reference section, p. 70) Sanger, Larry. 2006a. “Text and Collaboration: A PersonalManifesto for the Text Outline Project.” Posted April 2006. http://www.textop.org/TextAndCollaboration.html

*"In physics, for example, there is simply less to debate about than in, say, philosophy."
:I object to the "simply less":  The difference is not in the amount of things to debate about but in the way of debating - argumentation in physics ultimately boils down to replicable quantification - by measurement, calculation or a combination or (quantitative) critique thereof. This aspect of replicable quantification seems to be much less prominent in philosophy, leaving room for qualitative debates and thereby creating an illusion that there is more to debate in philosophy than elsewhere.

*Larry talks about "a vector toward continual improvement", "asymptotically approaching a perfect model of expert opinion" and states
"Over the long term, the quality of a given Wikipedia article will do a random walk around the highest level of quality permitted by the most persistent and aggressive people who follow an article."
:What about some quantitative model of the information contents in encyclopedic projects with the boundary conditions provided by the rules in place at Wikipedia, Citizendium or the Encyclopaedia Britannica?

*a little later:
"Since experts tend to be very busy professionals, they often cannot keep up their side of the edit war, and they lose by default."
:What about the proposal of just requiring editors (in the CZ sense, i.e. subject experts), not _all users_, to use real names, then? Well, experts are less likely to be willing to review anonymous contributions than those filed under a real name.

==={{pl|Gyrification}}===

micropolygyria (Toda 1999)



Duncan and Olson 1993:

"The shape index and the curvedness are two

properties derived from the principal curvatures that

are also useful.The shape index S is a generalized

measure of concavity and convexity defined by

(3)"



from lockwood 1999:

"Zilles et al. (1989) used a gyrification index to express degrees of convolution in surface area. Measured from cross sections, the index is the length of the complete contour of the surface area divided by the length of the outer contour alone. The expectation is that the gyrification index should increase with larger brain sizes, and Zilles et al. (1989) confirm that this is the case for

primates. However, what is most important about this study is the difference in regression lines between anthropoids and prosimians.

The slope is 0.66 for anthropoids and 0.23 for prosimians, indicating that for every unit increase in brain size, anthropoids acquire a higher degree of cortical folding than do prosimians (Zilles et al., 1989, p. 146).



This example highlights two important aspects of homoplasy. On the one hand, the underlying relationship between convolutions of the brains surface area and total brain size gives rise to potential homoplasy, as parallel increases or reductions in brain size will usually occur with shifts in sulcal development. Zilles et al. (1989) note, for example, that the similar degrees of gyrification in callitrichids and prosimians represents convergent evolution as a side effect of small brain size. This relationship would presumably affect the use of individual sulci as phylogenetic characters. Diagnostic sulci of a particular group will not be present in members with small brains, and if small brains are the primitive condition, this situation could be especially confusing. In the terminology used above in definitions of homoplasy, the relationship between surface convolutions and brain size represents a structural or functional constraint on brain organization that governs the phenotypic expression of surface morphology.



The second important point is that the relationship of gyrification and brain size is group specific."



from welker 1959:

"The second main hypothesis supported by the experiments reported here is that cortical sulci are formed at the boundaries of physiological subdivisions. Each of these physiological subdivisions (e.g., the cortical representations of the separate digits) presumably subtends discrete bundles of afferents (and their terminals) which are differentiated from one another not only spatially but by their synaptic connections to discrete and separate regions at the periphery. Since the evoked potentials are largest there, the crown of a gyrus apparently receives a dense bundle of afferents from a correspondingly richly innervated sensory surface (e.g., the

distal eminence of a digit). The region which forms the fundus of a sulcus, or incipient suleus, on the other hand, presumably receives relatively sparse innervation from the periphery (e.g., digit dorsum or proximal portion of a digit) since the evoked responses there are minimal or nonexistent. Brain sections stained with licmatoxylin indicate that there is a greater density of myeliriated fibers at the gyral crowns than at the fundi in the somatic region of the raccoon. At any rate, these data suggest that the cortex of the gyral crowns is functionally more active than that of the fundi.



To extend the hypothesis, it would seem that during ontogenetic development of the cerebral cortex tlie cortical terminals from densely innervated regions push upward and outward, while sparsely innervated areas are left behind to become the fundi. The dynamics of sulcus formation, then would more likely be conceived of as a mushrooming, rather than as an infolding of cortex. Whether or not sulci in other regions of the cerebral cortex or in the cortex in other animals bear the same relationships to physiological or anatomical subdivisions as they do in SI of the raccoon remains to be demonstrated in detail. Rome evidence (Connolly, '50) indicates

that such a correlation is often found in primate brains. The mechanism which might regulate such selective gi+owth of corticopetal connections may involve biochemical factors as suggested by Sperry (51). That the particular shape of cortical sulci may be influenced by limitations imposed on growth by the skull has been suggested by Clark ( '45).



Individual differences in directional orientation and topographic location of sulci is a common finding among animals of a given species. Factors which produce such variability in tlie growth of individual brains are unknown at present but our data indicate that despite such Variability, the sulci faithfully separate physiologically distinct subdivisions."

Keller_2006_Resolving the paradox of common harmful heritable mental disorders:

"finding positive heritability for a mental disorder does not vindicate the mental disorder as a diagnostic category. To a first approximation, every reliably measured behavioral trait shows positive heritability  even constructs such as television viewing

(Plomin et al. 1990) and political attitudes (Eaves et al. 1999). Any arbitrary disorder composed of unrelated but heritable symptoms will show credible heritability. Last, heritability is a statistical construct that averages over a lot of complexity. The causal pathways between genes and the heritable behaviors they influence must be mediated by many factors, both genetic and environmental

in nature. If these factors differ across populations, cohorts, or environmental conditions, then heritability estimates  and even the specific genes responsible for the heritability  might also differ across populations, cohorts, or environmental conditions."

Vallender 2008b

"A Footnote on Anthropocentrism

In the course of these studies, it becomes inevitable

that there is talk of anthropocentrism. Several factors

should be made clear: First, there is no scientific reason

to think that the lineage leading to humans is privileged

or otherwise different from the lineages leading to other

species. It might be the case that the mechanisms driving

the emergence of the human phenotype vary somewhat

from other species, but this is probably not true and no

evidence has been presented indicating that this is the

case. Second, that positive selection was at work on the

human brain should not come as a surprise or otherwise

set it apart from other phenotypes. Indeed, we are interested

in the brain because, as humans, it is such a major

part of who we are. Behaviors, psychiatric disorders,

emotions, language, all of these intrigue us and warrant

the study of the brain. Other traits unique to humans,

such as the changes in body hair and sweat glands related

to a novel thermoregulatory strategy, are equally important

and warrant study. Finally, the same studies can, and

likely will, be done for any species. We can legitimately

ask what makes a mouse so mousy or a cat so catty. The

methodologies will be largely similar and we will expect

to see the same sorts of results. That these studies generally

take a back seat in visibility to those in humans does

not reflect on the science itself, but rather on the priorities

of our human society."

Jeffery 2003 Brain expansion and comparative prenatal ontogeny of the non-hominoid primate cranial base:

"The similarities in the direction of angulation suggests that perhaps the same factor is influencing the cranial base in the macaques, howler monkeys, and modern humans. Of the many possible factors, the most obvious from the hrMR images is the size of the upper airway, particularly the larynx. Sagittal images show that even at the earliest stages of fetal life, the larynx in Alouatta is much larger than that in the fetal macaque, which in turn is larger than that in the human fetus (Fig. 9). These size differences seem to match differences in CBA, indicating that the two could well be correlated (see Schon, 1976; Laitman et al., 1977, 1978, 1979; Laitman and Reidenberg, 1993). Clearly, a study of the potential influence of upper airway growth on the fetal basicranium is warranted."

and

"Thus, it seems plausible that the structural impact of brain enlargement on the basicranium is manifested in the primate embryo,

not in the fetus or the infant, and that the resulting flexion is carried through to adulthood with only minor alterations of angulation en route due to growth of other soft-tissue structures such as the larynx."

Lefebvre 2008:

"Lesion and neuronal recording techniques are useful in identifying precise areas crucial to the correct functioning of a given cognitive system, but they are incapable of mapping the whole set of areas that are active. In contrast, techniques like MRI, immediate early genes and receptor site mapping can inform us about how broad or localized should be our search for brain correlates of cognition. The techniques routinely compare neural activation during a particular cognitive task [e.g., imitation of observed movement, Iacoboni et al., 1999] to that of the closest control (e.g., movement or observation only), and thus underestimate the total number of brain areas active during cognitive processing. Bearing this in mind, the most frequent result of brain imaging studies is that a number of different localized centers distributed all over the brain are involved in each cognitive activity. For example, a meta-analysis of 64 MRI studies in humans reveals a very broad distribution of areas active in different types of human tool use situations [Lewis, 2006]. When the mapping of the areas is restricted to those that are reported in at least four of the 64 studies, eight areas in the cortex, plus areas in the cerebellum and basal ganglia appear to be involved. During macaque tool use, 10 areas show MRI activity, from different parts of the right and left cerebellum to parts of the basal ganglia and cortical areas such as the precuneus and inferior temporal cortex [Obayashi et al., 2001]. During cooperative interactions in a prisoners dilemma game, at least five cortical and subcortical areas are active in humans [Rilling et al., 2002]."

"increasing cognitive capacity during childhood may coincide with a gradual loss rather than formation of new synapses and presumably a strengthening of remaining synaptic connections. It is clear that innovative methods like fMRI together with MRI-based morphometry and nonhuman primate studies will transform our current understanding of human brain development and its relation to behavioral development." \citep{Casey:2000p51495}

"The extension of spherical harmonics to incorporate radial sampling, whilst taking care to maintain the desirable orthonormality and completeness relationships, has led to the construction of functions equivalent to 3D Zernike functions.We have shown that these functions are well-suited to present molecular shapes and can successfully overcome some of the limitations of surface harmonics. This extra power comes at an additional computational cost per coefficient and also in that many more coefficients are required for the reconstruction. For shape matching, however, rotationally invariant descriptors may be employed thus reducing the number of coefficients greatly."

Morris 2005:

"A novel technique is presented for the comparison of protein binding pockets. The method uses the coefficients of a real spherical harmonics expansion to describe the shape of a proteins binding pocket. Shape similarity is computed as the L2 distance in coefficient space. Such comparisons in several thousands per second can be carried out on a standard linux PC."

Q:How are the L2 distance and L2 norm defined?



"Mathematically there are severalways of describing and representing shapes including triangulations, polygons, distance distributions

and landmark theory. The focus here will be on functional forms. Functions can be either local (piecewise, such as splines) or global in which the whole shape is described by an often very complex expression. Global representations are often termed parametric as the whole shape can be reduced to a number of parameters and each parameter affects the entire shape. Functions can either be explicit, meaning that one coordinate is expressed in terms of the others, or implicit, meaning that the surface points satisfy a given equation (isosurfaces). For example, spherical harmonics can be used for explicit functions, whereas super- and hyperquadrics are implicit representations."

Morris 2005:

"Spherical harmonics, Ylm(è, ö), are single-valued, smooth (infinitely differentiable), complex functions of two variables, è and ö, indexed by two integers, l and m. In quantum physics terminology, l is the angular quantum number and m the azimuthal quantum number. Roughly speaking, l gives the number of local minima of the function and therefore represents a spatial frequency. [See any quantum  mechanics or functional analysis textbook for more definitions and properties, e.g. Cohen-Tannoudji et al. (1977) and Edmonds (1996).] Spherical harmonics form a complete set of orthonormal functions and thus form a vector space analogue to unit basis vectors. In the same way that vector projections onto each axis (scalar product between vectors) can be used to describe any vector in the familiar form x = (x, y, z)T, expansion coefficients (scalar product between functions) can be used to describe functions. Any (square-integrable) function of Æ and Ó can be expanded as follows: f (Æ, Ó) = �l =0 l �m=.l clmYlm(Æ, Ó). (1)

Note that this expansion is exact and not merely an approximation. Errors are introduced by limiting the series to a certain order of  l. A second source of error arises from the fact that the surface to be modelled need not be a function of Æ and Ó. For a closed surface in 3D to be single-valued and therefore a function of Æ and Ó requires that any ray leaving the expansion centre should only penetrate the surface once, i.e. a continuous mapping exists between the surface and the unit sphere S2. Such figures are called single-valued surfaces or star-shape surfaces (Fig. 1)."

"As spherical harmonics enjoy mathematically convenient rotational propertiesthe coefficients can be rotated in the same way as vectors with so-called Wigner matrices (Edmonds, 1996; Chaichian and Hagedorn, 1997)the orientation convention introduced above is merely to speed up the process by avoiding the need to search for optimal rotations between coefficients."

"Another approach would be either to store and search for all axis flips or to fall back on the optimization problem of finding the best alignment. An attractive alternative would be the use of rotationally invariant descriptors (Kazhdan et al., 2003)."

"The song system of zebra finches is highly sexually dimorphic (Nottebohm and Arnold 1976). Many features of this circuit, from the forebrain nuclei involved in coordinating motor patterns to the vocal organ in the throat critical for sound production (syrinx), are

enhanced in males compared to females (reviewed in Arnold 1997; Wade 2001; Balthazart and Adkins-Regan 2002). In the forebrain, the volume of song control regions is larger in males than in females, which results from males having larger and more numerous neurons

with more extensive dendritic arborization (reviewed in Arnold 1992). The syrinx, which has been studied much less, is located at the junction of the trachea and the two bronchi and consists of closely spaced cartilage rings enveloped by several bilaterally paired muscles. The largest of these muscles are the ventralis and dorsalis, which together with the others, control the movement of

the syrinx and modulate the flow of air in a manner that in males results in the stereotyped vocalizations typical of song (King 1989; Suthers 1997; Goller and Larsen 2002; Larsen and Goller 2002)."

Ramus 2006: "The necessary genetic pre-wiring of linguistic modules with

highly speciWc computational properties and connectivity could be obtained through

the joint eVects of (1) genes generally implicated in brain development processes (like

the neural migration genes just discussed) (2) genes with speciWc anatomical expressions

that would interact with the former, and (3) transcription factors that would

orchestrate the expression of the former two, so that they would be expressed at speciWc

times, in speciWc combinations and in speciWc areas so as to produce unique anatomical

structures with unique computational and representational properties.

Although the third category of genes might include language-speciWc genes (triggering

developmental cascades relevant only to linguistic modules), they might also have

other regulating functions elsewhere in the brain or in the rest of the body. As seems

to be the case with the FOXP2 gene (see Fisher), such functions could be shared with

other species, with only one or two recent mutations possibly allowing the protein to

perform an additional regulatory function without compromising earlier ones. Such

may be the reality about the genetics of language."





paper by Balaban in Cognition 101, 2006 (cited by ramus):

Evan Balaban goes on with a birds eye view of the multiple factors that influence

brain development, which explain why causal relationships from gene to cognition are

highly degraded. His paper covers further discussion of what FOXP2 may or may not

do, biological determinants of critical periods, experience and brain plasticity, and the

important but often overlooked role of stochastic factors in brain development. He

advocates greater integration between biological data and cognitivist theorising.



To T: Read Ramus 2006, at least section 5:Developmental dyslexia and the future of language genetics

Ramus 2006:

"Until recently, linkage studies had provided six reliable chromosomal loci suspected

to harbour genes associated with dyslexia (Grigorenko, 2003). Now four such

genes have been identiWed in some of these loci: DYX1C1 on 15q21 (Taipale et al.,

2003), KIAA0319 on 6p22 (Cope et al., 2005; Francks et al., 2004), DCDC2 just a few

markers away on 6p22 (Meng et al., 2005; Schumacher et al., 2005), and ROBO1 on

3p12 (Hannula-Jouppi et al., 2005). If it were not exciting enough to discover four

dyslexia genes in two years, functional studies of these genes have provided remarkably

converging evidence.

LoTurco and colleagues have used a particularly innovative technique to study

the role of three of these genes in brain development (Bai et al., 2003). They have produced

functional knock-out rats using in vivo RNA interference. This technique

allowed them to speciWcally block the translation of the gene of interest, in vivo,

locally, and at a chosen stage of development (indeed, in utero during neural migration).

Using this technique, they showed that DYX1C1 is involved in radial neural

migration, and that the part of the protein that is truncated in a Finnish dyslexic family

(Taipale et al., 2003) is necessary and suYcient for normal neural migration

(Wang et al., submitted for publication). They have further shown that cortical ectopias

(like the ones observed in dyslexic brains) sometimes occur as a result of the

DYX1C1-induced disruption of neural migration. The same team has been able to

conduct similar studies on both DCDC2 (Meng et al., 2005) and KIAA0319 (Paracchini

et al., 2006), again concluding that these genes are crucially implicated in neural

migration. Finally, ROBO1 is a homologue of a well-known drosophila gene that is

involved in inter-hemispheric axon guidance and cortical dendritic guidance (Hannula-

Jouppi et al., 2005).

Amusingly, these Wndings oVer a striking parallel with Galaburdas original discovery

of the Wrst four brains with neural migration anomalies. Now there are four

candidate genes for dyslexia, and all four are involved in neural migration or guidance.

How likely is that to occur by chance?

-->Perhaps the hypothesis that dyslexia is a

neural migration disorder should be taken seriously at last.





"This suggests that other genes remain to be found, whose expression

in the cortex is anatomically restricted, and that interact with neural migration

genes in such a way as to spatially constrain the eVects of risk alleles. As I have mentioned

earlier, there are plenty such genes, the latest search yielding 349 (Gray et al.,

2004)."
