In past due might and early June 1991, a NATO complicated examine Institute was once held at a inn within the hilltop village of San Martino al Cimino a couple of kilometers from town of Viterbo within the Lazio sector of Italy. The identify of the direction used to be almost like this quantity and taken jointly experts operating in any respect stages of the lifestyles span (embryology, infancy, early life, heart existence and senescence) in either animals and people to interchange principles, evidence and theories within the look for universal rules. Such rules may well end up very important for realizing developmental alterations within the important fearful procedure and visible habit in the context of a continuum of life-span strategies instead of viewing them as occasions or mechanisms that happen merely in a undeniable interval. for instance, adjustments which are linked to "aging" have been regarded as extensions or continuations of tactics that all started at an past degree of the existence span, instead of being noticeable as strategies that in basic terms started past due in life.

Outgroup comparisons show a somewhat similar organization of the hagfish retina (Holmberg, 1978), although the details are less clear than in lampreys. e. the preoptic, tectal and hypothalamic regions) reveal striking similarities in the distribution of cells and fibers (Fig. 2). In contrast, the retina of jawed vertebrates shows a very different distribution of ganglion cells and their fibers when compared either to brain organization or the lamprey retina. The ganglion cells are separated only by the optic fiber layer from the vitreous (Fig.
