Human-specific ARHGAP11B induces hallmarks of neocortical expansion in developing ferret neocortex
The evolutionary increase in size and complexity of the primate neocortex is thought to
underlie the higher cognitive abilities of humans. ARHGAP11B is a human-specific gene …

Conical expansion of the outer subventricular zone and the role of neocortical folding in evolution and development
There is a basic rule to mammalian neocortical expansion: as it expands, so does it fold. The
degree to which it folds, however, cannot strictly be attributed to its expansion. Across …

Three counting methods agree on cell and neuron number in chimpanzee primary visual cortex
Determining the cellular composition of specific brain regions is crucial to our understanding
of the function of neurobiological systems. It is therefore useful to identify the extent to which …
