While all humans share certain biological mechanisms, we are each unique. And while our bodies have many of the same parts—brains and hormones and cells with genetic codes—these are expressed in a wide variety of behaviors, thoughts, and reactions.

Th...As our knowledge of heredity increases, researchers have begun to realize the importance of epigenetics, or changes in gene expression that do not result in a change of the underlying DNA sequence. The reason all cells within the body have the same DNA but different morphologies and functions is that different subsets of genes are turned “on” and “off” within the different cell types.

Various surrogate measures had been employed for decades. We now appreciate that anatomical variation tracks adaptive divergence of the species, while genetic variation more closely tracks the time since the species diverged from one another.

Topics covered include learning processes, attachment, behavioral genetics, and research methods in developmental psychology. Additionally, concepts such as nature versus nurture, resilience, cognitive development, and socio-cultural influences on behavior are detailed.

The vagus is the primary source of autonomic-parasympathetic regulation for various internal organs, including the heart, lungs and other parts of the viscera.

Epigenetics research is also crucial for unraveling gene regulation, which involves complex interactions between DNA, RNA, proteins, and the environment.
