Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 All brain processes that generate behaviour, apart from reflexes, operate with information that is in an “activated” state. This activated information, which is known as working memory (WM), is generated by the effect of attentional processes on incoming

Twelve protections evolved for the brain, and their roles in extending its functional life
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023 As human longevity has increased, we have come to understand the ability of the brain to function into advanced age, but also its vulnerability with age, apparent in the age-related dementias.

New Remains of Scandiavis mikkelseni Inform Avian Phylogenetic Relationships and Brain Evolution
Diversity, 2021 Although an increasing number of studies are combining skeletal and neural morphology data in a phylogenetic context, most studies do not include extinct taxa due to the rarity of preserved endocasts.

A Closer Look to the Evolution of Neurons in Humans and Apes Using Stem-Cell-Derived Model Systems
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The cellular, molecular and functional comparison of neurons from closely related species is crucial in evolutionary neurobiology. The access to living tissue and post-mortem brains of humans and non-human primates is limited and the state of the tissue ...

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 Squamata is one of the richest and most diverse extant groups. The present study investigates the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-immunopositive elements of five lizard and three snake species; each represents a different family.

eLife, 2023 Gene expression has been employed for homologizing body regions across bilateria. The molecular comparison of vertebrate and fly brains has led to a number of disputed homology hypotheses.

Science, 2007 The evolution of unusually large brains in some groups of animals, notably primates, has long been a puzzle. Although early explanations tended to emphasize the brain's role in sensory or technical competence (foraging skills, innovations, and way-finding), the balance of evidence now clearly favors the suggestion that it was the computational demands ...
