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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Concept of neural genoarchitecture and its genomic fundament.
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2012 The recent concept of neural genoarchitecture (or genoarchitectonics) is examined from several angles, aiming to clarify the rationale for this new approach in causal and descriptive neuroanatomy.

eLife, 2021 The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) is one of the most expanded cortical regions in humans relative to other primates. It is also among the most structurally and functionally asymmetric regions in the human cerebral cortex.

MCPH1: a window into brain development and evolution
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 The development of the mammalian cerebral cortex involves a series of mechanisms: from patterning, progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation, to neuronal migration.
