Positive selection on NIN, a gene involved in neurogenesis, and primate brain evolution.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Nov 2012

Montgomery S H, Mundy N I

Abstract excerpt

A long-held dogma in comparative neurobiology has been that the number of neurons under a given area of cortical surface is constant. As such, the attention of those seeking to understand the genetic basis of brain evolution has focused on genes with functions in the lateral expansion of the developing cerebral cortex. However, new data suggest that cortical cytoarchitecture is not constant across primates,...
