The evolutionary masquerade: genetic and epigenetic contributions to the neocortex.

Current opinion in neurobiology - 1 Feb 2014

Krubitzer Leah, Stolzenberg Danielle S

Abstract excerpt

The neocortex is a defining feature of the mammalian brain and its expansion is one of the hallmarks of human evolution. Given the complexity of human behavior, it is tempting to think that as a species humans are exclusive compared to other animals. However, comparative studies indicate that human brains follow the same rules of construction and that alterations to the human neocortex take a similar form as in...
