concept:regulative-developmentRegulative Development
Property of embryos to achieve invariant species-specific morphology despite drastic perturbations and abnormal starting conditions, revealing goal-directed cellular coordination.

Claims (1)
claim
- Levin's assertion that embryonic body-patterning reflects the same information-integration and goal-pursuit mechanisms as neural sensorimotor control.
Findings (1)
finding
- Empirical example of regulative development: when craniofacial organs are positioned abnormally, they reposition via non-natural paths until correct frog face is achieved.
