A groundbreaking study reveals that the expansion of the primate neocortex may be linked to enhanced visual processing rather than an independently growing frontal lobe, shedding light on the ...
A long-standing picture of brain evolution as newer, rational layers stacked on top of an ancient “lizard brain” may be ...

Vision may have shaped the primate brain

The evolution of the primate brain does not appear to have relied first on the autonomous growth of the frontal lobe, often ...
The neocortex stands out as a stunning achievement of biological evolution. All mammals have this swath of tissue covering their brain, and the six layers of densely packed neurons within it handle ...
What makes us human? According to neurobiologists it is our neocortex. This outer layer of the brain is rich in neurons and lets us do abstract thinking, create art, and speak complex languages. An ...
A new study is providing fascinating insight into how projections conveying sensory information in the brain are guided to their appropriate targets in different species. The research, published by ...

L’évolution du cerveau des primates ne semble pas avoir reposé d’abord sur une croissance autonome du lobe frontal, souvent ...
The neocortex of our brain is the seat of our intellect. New data suggests that mammals created it with new types of cells that they developed only after their evolutionary split from reptiles. The ...
