Genetics of Cerebellar and Neocortical Expansion in Anthropoid Primates: A Comparative Approach.

Brain, behavior and evolution - 1 Jan 2017

Harrison Peter W, Montgomery Stephen H

Abstract excerpt

What adaptive changes in brain structure and function underpin the evolution of increased cognitive performance in humans and our close relatives? Identifying the genetic basis of brain evolution has become a major tool in answering this question. Numerous cases of positive selection, altered gene expression or gene duplication have been identified that may contribute to the evolution of the neocortex, which is...
