The role of CNTNAP2 in the development & evolution of the human cerebral cortex

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The differing cognitive abilities of humans and other primates are accompanied by changes to forebrain neuronal circuit composition and function. This is underpinned by species-specific features of their development. Excitatory neurons in the human cerebral cortex have longer neurites and more elaborate neurite branching than chimpanzees or macaques, which is thought to contribute to differences in neural network...
