Temporal cortex is a primate specialization that shows considerable variation in size,
morphology, and connectivity across species. Human temporal cortex is involved in many …

The longstanding idea that the cerebral cortex is the main neural correlate of human
cognition can be elaborated by comparative analyses along the vertebrate phylogenetic tree …

Brain communication, defined as information transmission through white-matter
connections, is at the foundation of the brain's computational capacities that subtend almost …

The biological foundation for the language-ready brain in the human lineage remains a
debated subject. In humans, the arcuate fasciculus (AF) white matter and the posterior …

Post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides the opportunity to acquire high-
resolution datasets to investigate neuroanatomy and validate the origins of image contrast …

Studies in comparative neuroanatomy and of the fossil record demonstrate the influence of
socio-ecological niches on the morphology of the cerebral cortex, but have led to oftentimes …

Humans have been shown to strategically explore. They can identify situations in which
gathering information about distant and uncertain options is beneficial for the future …

The selection pressures that drove dramatic encephalisation processes through the
mammal lineage remain elusive, as does knowledge of brain structure reorganisation …

Dogs and humans have lived together for thousands of years and share many analogous
socio-cognitive skills. Dog neuroimaging now provides insight into the neural bases of these …

The network formed by the amygdala (AMG) and the medial Prefrontal Cortex (mPFC), at the
interface between our internal and external environment, has been shown to support some …
