Instructor: Günter P. WagnerBackground: menstruation is a major factor in the life of women during their fertile years, yet we neither understand what it is good for nor why it evolved. These questions become even more perplexing when one realizes that menstruation is a rare phenomenon among mammals, yet has never the less evolved multiple times. The latter suggests that there has to be, in some circumstances, a selective pressure to evolve menstruation; or is menstruation only a byproduct of something else?What will we be discussing?
• What is the physiology of human menstruation?
• How comparable are menstruating animals?
• Is there a common theme to the biology of menstruation?
• What are the evolutionary reasons for the evolution of menstruation?Structure of the Seminar:1. Introduction
2. How? Basic biology of the menstrual cycle and menstruation
3. What? Comparative biology of menstruation (homology and convergence)
4. What? Menstruation in the spiny mouse model
5. What? Analogy between menstruation and parturition (serial homology)
6. Why? Colin Finn’s theory of M
7. Why/how? Experimental models of menstruation in a non-menstruating species
8. Why? Profet’s theory of infection prevention
9. Why? Strassmann’s theory of Energy preservation
10. Why? Brosens: Embryo selection
11. Why? Goyette: extended receptivity
12. Consequences: clinical perspectives
13. Clough 2002 conceptual structure of theories of M
14. Summary assessment of the field and new ideasStudents are expected to choose a topic and present the paper and lead the discussion in one week of the seminar (weeks 2 to 13).
