Among the LGTs of TvLF, several are functionally annotated as genetic information processing genes, a functional category of genes that are under-represented among LGTs detected previously.
For example, in neural information processing, the brain functional activity associated with the complex cognitive and behavioral events are highly time-varying.
Thus, a phyletic pattern was used that indicates the presence or absence of genes from all species present in functional categories of COGs corresponding to information storage and processing (functional categories J, A, K, L, and B) or nucleotide transport and metabolism (functional category F) [42].
Differentially regulated pathways that were common among life stages generally belonged to environmental information processing and immune system functional groups.
These findings indicate alterations in the complexity of functional information processing across the associative cortex and further correlate with multiple behavioral outcomes in ASD.
Protein regulatory networks are highly functional information processing systems, evolved to perform a diverse sets of tasks in a close to optimal way.
Questionnaire 4 at 12 months and Questionnaire 5 at 24 months collect information relating to sensory processing, functional performance and social-emotional-behavioural issues and competencies of the child.
It is therefore possible that the secondarily aquatic lifestyle of seals has led to the evolution of visual information processing that makes them functional rod monochromats at all light levels.
Finally, cerebral volume changes in the frontal, temporal, and parietal regions in the first week after diagnosis were associated with lower attention and memory scores 6 months later, suggesting that functional information processing difficulties persist after resolution of tissue water increases in cerebral white matter.
The functional localization assumption states that units or subunits within an information processing system become functionally specialized for dealing with specific aspects of the input environment.
