Research involving nonhuman primates (NHPs) has played a vital role in many of the
medical and scientific advances of the past century. NHPs are used because of their …

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), which measures the
spontaneous fluctuations in the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal, is …

The ever-increasing use of mouse models in preclinical neuroscience research calls for an
improvement in the methods used to translate findings between mouse and human brains …

Larger brains tend to have more folded cortices, but what makes the cortex fold has
remained unknown. We show that the degree of cortical folding scales uniformly across …

The inter-areal wiring pattern of the mouse cerebral cortex was analyzed in relation to a
refined parcellation of cortical areas. Twenty-seven retrograde tracer injections were made …

Why our human brains are awesome, and how we left our cousins, the great apes, behind: a
tale of neurons and calories, and cooking. Humans are awesome. Our brains are gigantic …

Enough species have now been subject to systematic quantitative analysis of the
relationship between the morphology and cellular composition of their brain that patterns …

The single-neuron basis of cognitive processing in primates has mostly been studied in
laboratory settings where movements are severely restricted. It is unclear, therefore, how …

What explains the superior cognitive abilities of the human brain compared to other, larger
brains? Here we investigate the possibility that the human brain has a larger number of …

Molecular genetic tools have had a profound impact on neuroscience, but until recently their
application has largely been confined to a few model species, most notably mouse …
