A Connectomic Hypothesis for the Hominization of the Brain.

Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) - 31 Mar 2021

Changeux Jean-Pierre, Goulas Alexandros, Hilgetag Claus C

Abstract excerpt

Cognitive abilities of the human brain, including language, have expanded dramatically in the course of our recent evolution from nonhuman primates, despite only minor apparent changes at the gene level. The hypothesis we propose for this paradox relies upon fundamental features of human brain connectivity, which contribute to a characteristic anatomical, functional, and computational neural phenotype, offering a...
