Researchers have identified a critical gene called Eed that regulates epigenetic changes, leading to proper genome imprinting. The study's findings hold significance for understanding human disorders such as cancer, birth defects, and mental retardation.
Researchers found that expert car viewers' ability to recognize cars interferes with face recognition, while novices do not. The study suggests a common neural circuitry for holistic object recognition, applicable to various objects, including faces and cars.
