The brain of modern humans has evolved remarkable computational abilities that enable
higher cognitive functions. These capacities are tightly linked to an increase in the size and …

Human cognitive abilities are generally thought to arise from cortical expansion over the
course of human brain evolution. In addition to increased neuron numbers, this cortical …

The human cerebral cortex houses 1000 times more neurons than that of the cerebral cortex
of a mouse, but the possible differences in synaptic circuits between these species are still …

The cognitive abilities of humans are distinctive among primates, but their molecular and
cellular substrates are poorly understood. We used comparative single-nucleus …

To understand the brain we must relate neurons' functional responses to the circuit
architecture that shapes them. Here, we present a large functional connectomics dataset …

The evolution of the modern human brain was accompanied by distinct molecular and
cellular specializations, which underpin our diverse cognitive abilities but also increase our …

The biophysical properties of neurons are the foundation for computation in the brain.
Neuronal size is a key determinant of single neuron input–output features and varies …

The biophysical features of neurons shape information processing in the brain. Cortical
neurons are larger in humans than in other species, but it is unclear how their size affects …

Noninvasively map** the layout of cortical areas in humans is a continuing challenge for
neuroscience. We present a new method of map** cortical areas based on myelin content …

How is the vast brain communication system organized? A structural model relates
connections to laminar differences between linked areas. The model is based on the …
