Genetic correlates of the evolving primate brain.

Progress in brain research - 1 Jan 2012

Vallender Eric J

Abstract excerpt

The tremendous shifts in the size, structure, and function of the brain during primate evolution are ultimately caused by changes at the genetic level. Understanding what these changes are and how they effect the phenotypic changes observed lies at the heart of understanding evolutionary change. This chapter focuses on understanding the genetic basis of primate brain evolution, considering the substrates and...
