Brain evolution: microcephaly genes weigh in.

Current biology : CB - 9 Mar 2010

Montgomery Stephen H, Mundy Nicholas I

Abstract excerpt

The role of microcephaly genes in normal variation in human brain size has been controversial. New studies show that a link does exist and imply sex-specificity in microcephaly gene action during neurogenesis.
