Journal ArticleDOI
Brain evolution relating to family, play, and the separation call.
TL;DR: Recent findings suggest that the development of the behavioral triad in question may have depended on the evolution of the thalamocingulate division of the limbic system, a derivative from early mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Women: a more balanced brain?
TL;DR: For instance, the authors pointed out that whereas most men are primarily dependent on the left cerebral hemisphere (dominant hemisphere) for verbally related functions, women show a greater hemispheric balance in this respect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Religion and an evolutionary theory of knowledge
TL;DR: In this article, an evolutionary theory of knowledge involving not only conceptual but also behavioral and experiential knowledge is presented. But the evolutionary theory does not address the problem of religious knowledge in a pluralistic age and how a nonpersonal, evolutionary understanding of God might be religiously adequate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive theism: sources of accommodation between secularism and religion
TL;DR: A variant of Burhoe's rationalized naturalistic view of religion is suggested, suggesting that Judeo-Christian monotheism can have a valuable advisory unifying function in the context of diversity and incessant change.
Journal ArticleDOI
On “huxleys evolution and ethics in sociobiological perspective” by george c. williams
TL;DR: The biologist's finding that a living organism is of transient significance compared with its lines of heritage and their consequences, it is argued, is constructively important for ethical and theological understanding.

Opiate Receptor: Demonstration in Nervous Tissue
TL;DR: Tritiated naloxone, a powerful opiate antagonist, specifically binds to an opiate receptor of mammalian brain and guinea pig intestine that closely parallels their pharmacological potency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further analysis of the hippocampal amnesic syndrome: 14-year follow-up study of H.M.☆
TL;DR: Certain residual learning capacities of H.M., a young man who became amnesic in 1953 following a bilateral removal in the hippocampal zone, are delineated against the background of his continuing profound amnesia, an amnesia that persists in spite of above-average intelligence and superior performance on many perceptual tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory deficit produced by bilateral lesions in the hippocampal zone.
Wilder Penfield,Brenda Milner +1 more
TL;DR: The following study shows that the capacity to record the daily current of conscious experience may be lost when there is bilateral destruction of a man's hippocampus and hippocampal gyrus.

Cerebral representation of vocalization in the squirrel monkey.
Uwe Jürgens,Detlev Ploog +1 more
TL;DR: Among the brain structures yielding vocalization the mesencephalic periaqueductal gray is assumed to be the region where the electrical stimulus interferes most directly with specific vocalization mechanisms.
