The human isocortex consists of tangentially organized layers with unique cytoarchitectural
properties. These layers show spatial variations in thickness and cytoarchitecture across the …

While the role of cortical microstructure in organising neural function is well established, it
remains unclear how structural constraints can give rise to more flexible elements of …

A key component of current theories of brain structure and function is the layer-specific origin
of structural connections of the cerebral cortex. This fundamental connectional feature …

Studies of structural brain connectivity have revealed many intriguing features of complex
cortical networks. To advance integrative theories of cortical organization, an understanding …

The temporal lobe is implicated in higher cognitive processes and is one of the regions that
underwent substantial reorganization during primate evolution. Its functions are instantiated …

Histological atlases of the cerebral cortex, such as those made famous by Brodmann and
von Economo, are invaluable for understanding human brain microstructure and its …

Understanding the topographic organization of the human brain remains a major goal in
neuroscience. Brain atlases are fundamental to this goal, yet many contemporary human …

The topological organization of the cerebral cortex provides hierarchical axes, namely
gradients, which reveal systematic variations of brain structure and function. However, the …

The rich variation in cytoarchitectonics of the human cortex is well known to play an
important role in the differentiation of cortical information processing, with functional …

High-level characterizations of the primate cerebral cortex sit between two extremes: on one
end the cortical mantle is seen as a mosaic of structurally and functionally unique areas, and …
