Folding of the cerebral cortex is a fundamental milestone of mammalian brain evolution and
is associated with dramatic increases in size and complexity. New animal models, genetic …

One of the most prominent features of the human brain is the fabulous size of the cerebral
cortex and its intricate folding. Cortical folding takes place during embryonic development …

Understanding the organization of the cerebral cortex remains a central focus of
neuroscience. Cortical maps have relied almost exclusively on the examination of …

Although Darwin insisted that human intelligence could be fully explained by the theory of
evolution, the codiscoverer of natural selection, Alfred Russel Wallace, claimed that abstract …

The Recursive Mind challenges the commonly held notion that language is what makes us
uniquely human. In this compelling book, Michael Corballis argues that what distinguishes …

Abstract In 1970 the Boulder Committee described the basic principles of the development
of the CNS, derived from observations on the human embryonic cerebrum. Since then …

The developmental and evolutionary mechanisms behind the emergence of human-specific
brain features remain largely unknown. However, the recent ability to compare our genome …

The dramatic evolutionary expansion of the cerebral cortex of Homo sapiens underlies our
unique higher cortical functions, and therefore bears on the ultimate issue of what makes us …

A new proposal for integrating the employment of formal and empirical methods in the study
of human reasoning. In Human Reasoning and Cognitive Science, Keith Stenning and …

Referential models based on extant African apes have dominated reconstructions of early
human evolution since Darwin's time. These models visualize fundamental human …
