Genetic Mechanisms Underlying Cortical Evolution in Mammals

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The remarkable sensory, motor, and cognitive abilities of mammals mainly depend on the neocortex. Thus, the emergence of the six-layered neocortex in reptilian ancestors of mammals constitutes a fundamental evolutionary landmark.
