Human genome consists of almost 30 thousand genes encoding information necessary for the development of human brain built of 1011 neurons interconnected into a network by means of 1015 synapses. Functional neurogenomics investigates how genome as a whole influences evolution and development of structures and functions of nervous system. Operation of human brain is on the one hand determined by genetically conditioned biological features and environmental factors on the other. Both groups of factors, affecting at a given time, dynamically shape brain functioning. Despite the reductionist character of research in molecular mechanisms that take place in the development and adaptation of the brain, including such data into multidimensional analysis of system biology, allows to obtain a more holistic picture of the researched phenomenon.

The aim of the paper was empirical verification of the relationship between temperamental traits (according to RTT) and personality disorders. Two hypotheses were tested - the possibility of describing the specific profile of temperamental traits for each disorder or identifying the common temperamental characteristics for all personality disorders. The data were obtained in the study of more than 1700 subjects, assessed by self-report measures: TALEIA-400A, PBQ and SCID-II questionnaire for personality disorders, and the FCB-TI for temperamental traits. The results indicate the high similarity of correlational profiles of temperamental traits with all personality disorders, which may be classified into “week” (characterized by the low capacity for stimulation processing - involving Cluster A, C and borderline personality disorder) or “overstimulated” type of temperament (characterized by dysregulation of stimulation supply – Cluster B: antisocial, histrionic and narcissistic personality disorder). Identifying the specific profile of relations of temperamental traits for each of 10 personality disorders (described in DSM IV) was not possible.

The research which use the tasks of verbal fluency show the essential diagnostic value of them in reference to clinical analyses. The performance of verbal fluency tasks is modified by different individual factors such as age, sex, education as well as affective ones. The very important factor considered as having an influence on verbal fluency is mood. The aim of the study is to discuss the relationships between the different types of verbal fluency indicators and the intensity of depressive mood. The final analysis of the results of 200 people aged in 18-70 years old is presented. Although the depressive people show the lower scores in the different verbal fluency tasks their results are explained by age and education. Discussion on diagnostic values of neutral and affective verbal fluency is presented.

The presented work is an attempt of systematization the knowledge of the functional asymmetry of cerebral hemispheres among animals, ranging from invertebrates, ending with primates. The authors used the resulting distribution of lateralization of the senses, which a feature applies. Thus distinguished visual lateralization relating to vision, auditory lateralization sensitive to sounds coming from the environment and the chemical lateralization associated with sense of smell.

The article deals with the history of the shtetl in Nowogródek, where, before the war about 6,500 Jews lived. When the Germans occupied Nowogródek, a ghetto was established in one of the suburbs, where all the local Jews were deported. The author describes everyday life of the Jews in the ghetto and their fate. Most of them were killed in three mass executions: in December 1941, in August 1942 and February 1943. Many managed to escape to the Bielski partisan outfit, operating in the nearby Nalibocki Forest; the most spectacular escape was that of 232 Jews through a tunnel. These Jews had remained in the town after the mass executions.

The author discusses three issues: ghetto formation, Jewish workers and the living conditions, mainly based on examples from small ghettoes. from the very beginning, ghettoisation involved loss of property, privacy and autonomy. The author's analysis of the organisation of Jewish forced labour reveals a significant stratification among Jewish forced labourers. The economic aspects of the relations between the Jews and the local non-Jewish population was often omitted by Holocaust researchers, who focused primarily on the formation of German policy and its destructive consequences.

The author analyses two testimonies from the Stanisławów ghetto: Eliszewa/Elza Binder's and Juliusz Feuerman's. Binder's diary, found in the ghetto, begins on 13 December 1941 and ends on 18 July 1942, whereas Feuerman's notes are a chronicle of the ghetto and the destruction of its inhabitants. the purpose of this analysis, supplemented by a biographical context, is to portray - as well as Brenner can - the characters of their authors. The reading of these two accounts, written in the same historical situation is to demonstrate that both the ideological and the emotional reactions to the current events in the ghetto ghetto cannot be separated from their personal emotional situation or their pre-war lives.
