Coevolución Humano-Planta y Neurobiología

Where evolution connects plants, the brain, and human diversity.

HPCN Pillar: Human–Plant Coevolution and Neurobiology

The HPCN Pillar of CRAI establishes the scientific framework for the study of human–plant coevolution and its impact on neurobiological regulation. It examines how complex phytochemical matrices have historically interacted with human brain architecture, shaping cognitive, emotional, and adaptive dynamics within changing ecological contexts.

This pillar integrates evolutionary biology, neurobiology, systemic phytochemistry, and computational modelling within a unified methodological architecture aimed at understanding functional configurations rather than isolated components.

Scientific Axes of the HPCN Pillar

Our scientific axes focus on the following core dimensions:

Human–plant coevolution as an evolutionary regulatory process
Interaction between phytochemical matrices and neural networks
Systemic analysis of the interaction between plant compounds and neural regulation
Neurobiological variability in complex environmental contexts
Development of integrative frameworks for systems-based interventions

Articulation into Research Lines

The HUMAN Pillar unfolds into structural research lines that specifically develop its scientific axes while maintaining methodological coherence within the pillar’s conceptual framework.

Evolutionary bases of human-plant interaction
Sustainability and Ecological Modulation of Medicinal Plants
Dynamics of Regulation and Resilience in Complex Plant Systems

Methodological approach

The initiative combines techniques from evolutionary biology, molecular neurobiology, advanced phytochemistry, and computational analysis to study in an integrated way how plant compounds interact with human neural networks. This multidisciplinary approach allows researchers to address neurodiversity from an evolutionary perspective and develop rigorous models for future personalized interventions.

comparative evolutionary biology
molecular neurobiology
advanced phytochemistry
preclinical trials
metabolomics and transcriptomics
computational analysis and systems modeling

Scientific and social relevance

This pillar contributes to the consolidation of a scientific framework aimed at understanding human–plant biological modulation within dynamic regulatory contexts, with a forward-looking perspective toward future evidence-based applications.

Team and collaborations

The HPCN Pillar articulates scientific collaboration networks focused on the integrated study of human–plant interaction. Partnerships are fostered with academic institutions, research centers, and technological entities interested in evolutionary, systems-based, and complex phytochemical matrix–oriented approaches.

Collaboration opportunities

The HPCN Pillar promotes scientific cooperation with researchers, academic institutions, and technological entities interested in the evolutionary and systemic study of human–plant interaction.

Collaborations may be developed at the conceptual, methodological, or experimental level, always within the integrative scientific framework that defines the pillar.
