of the whole system whereas that of its component parts do not (hence, irreducibility). This irreducibility implies that a mechanism must entail non-zero SI: specifically the information that is embodied by the mechanism and not by its component parts, in other words, by the organisational struc...
The second strategy for capturing the patient genetics is to simply use the patient’s cells as the model. This approach has gained considerable traction in the recent past thanks to cellular reprogramming to create induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells (Takahashi and Yamanaka2006). These cells can...
patterning and regionalization (laying out the master plan of brain architecture), neurogenesis and neuronal migration, gliogenesis and glia cell differentiation, neuronal differentiation and circuit formation (axonogenesis, dendritic arborization, synaptogenesis, and myelination), and circuit refinement and...
What role do genetics and epigenetics play in early infant neural and developmental outcome? The relation of genetics and epigenetics with SES and neural development is a rela- tively unexplored yet important field for future endeavors (10). Strong genetic effects on neonatal MRI outcomes have ...

It is not news that poverty adversely affects child outcome. The literature is replete with reports of deleterious effects on developmental outcome, cognitive function, and school performance in children and youth. Causative factors include poor nutritio
