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.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2010 Even after years of research on navigation in the Red Honey Ant, Melophorus bagoti, much of its life history remains elusive. Here, we present observations on nest relocation and the reproductive and founding stages of colonies.

The secondary loss of gyrencephaly as an example of evolutionary phenotypical reversal
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2013 Gyrencephaly (the folding of the surface of the neocortex) is a mammalian-specific trait present in almost all mammalian orders. Despite the widespread appearance of the trait, little is known about the mechanism of its genesis or its adaptive ...

Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 2017 Abstract Although we share evolutionary history with other primates, examples of apparent cognitive and behavioral discontinuity between humans and other species abound. Neuroanatomical and molecular differences that distinguish the human brain are evident at several levels of organization.

Brain Asymmetry in Evolution [PDF]
, 2021 In higher mammals, including primates and carnivores, the asymmetrical aspects of brain morphology and function have been shown to be species-related, sex-related, and subject to individual diversity, and are associated with cognition, emotion, language,

Neural Correlates of Vocal Repertoire in Primates
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 Understanding the nature of the relationship between vocal complexity and brain architecture across non-human primates may help elucidate some of the key elements underlying the evolution of human speech.

Novel neuroanatomical integration and scaling define avian brain shape evolution and development
eLife, 2021 How do large and unique brains evolve? Historically, comparative neuroanatomical studies have attributed the evolutionary genesis of highly encephalized brains to deviations along, as well as from, conserved scaling relationships among brain regions ...

The Cytoarchitecture of the Tectal-Related Pallium of Squirrelfish, Holocentrus sp.
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 The squirrelfish, which live in visually complex coral reefs, have very large eyes and a special dual-system “day and night vision” retina. They also have atypical expansions of brain areas involved in processing visual information.

Evolution of brain elaboration [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 Large, complex brains have evolved independently in several lineages of protostomes and deuterostomes. Sensory centres in the brain increase in size and complexity in proportion to the importance of a particular sensory modality, yet often share circuit architecture because of constraints in processing sensory inputs.
