Genetics of cortico-cerebellar expansion in anthropoid primates: a comparative approach

2016-03-10

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 wi...
