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.

Connectional asymmetry of the inferior parietal lobule shapes hemispheric specialization in humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques

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.

Conserved localization of Pax6 and Pax7 transcripts in the brain of representatives of sarcopterygian vertebrates during development supports homologous brain regionalization

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
Many of the genes involved in brain patterning during development are highly conserved in vertebrates and similarities in their expression patterns help to recognize homologous cell types or brain regions.

CRISPR/Cas9-based QF2 knock-in at the tyrosine hydroxylase (th) locus reveals novel th-expressing neuron populations in the zebrafish mid- and hindbrain

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
Catecholaminergic neuron clusters are among the most conserved neuromodulatory systems in vertebrates, yet some clusters show significant evolutionary dynamics.

Music and the brain: disorders of musical listening [PDF]

, 2006
The study of the brain bases for normal musical listening has advanced greatly in the last 30 years. The evidence from basic and clinical neuroscience suggests that listening to music involves many cognitive components with distinct brain substrates ...

Looking for the origins of the human brain: The role of South Africa in the history of palaeoneurology

South African Journal of Science
In 1925, Raymond Arthur Dart published his description and interpretations of the ‘Taung Child’ in the journal Nature, including a description of the natural brain endocast associated with the face and mandible.

Evolution of the human brain: when bigger is better.

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
Comparative studies of the brain in mammals suggest that there are general architectural principles governing its growth and evolutionary development. We are beginning to understand the geometric, biophysical and energy constraints that have governed the

Sound localization circuits in reptiles

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Location of sound sources is a fundamental task of the auditory system. Recent studies have shown that land vertebrates employ an array of sound localization strategies.

Sourcing high tissue quality brains from deceased wild primates with known socio‐ecology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The selection pressures that drove dramatic encephalisation processes through the mammal lineage remain elusive, as does knowledge of brain structure reorganisation through this process.
