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 spatio-temporal timing of the last round of mitosis, followed by the migration of neuroblasts
to the cortical plate leads to the formation of the six-layered cortex that is subdivided into …

Retrograde tracer injections in 29 of the 91 areas of the macaque cerebral cortex revealed
1,615 interareal pathways, a third of which have not previously been reported. A weight index …

The laminar location of the cell bodies and terminals of interareal connections determines
the hierarchical structural organization of the cortex and has been intensively studied. …

We examined the development of the occipital lobe in fetal monkeys between embryonic
day 37 (E37) and E108 in Nissl-stained and acetylcholine esterase (AChE)-reacted sections. …

Mouse embryonic stem cells were induced to differentiate in culture with retinoic acid. Putative
precursors of neurons and glial cells (nestin-positive cells) were clearly identified as early …

Long-term ex vivo live imaging combined with unbiased sampling of cycling precursors
shows that macaque outer subventricular zone (OSVZ) includes four distinct basal radial glial (…

To what extent cortical pathways show significant weight differences and whether these
differences are consistent across animals (thereby comprising robust connectivity profiles) is an …

The diverse functions of thyroid hormones are thought to be mediated by two nuclear receptors,
T3Rα1 and T3Rβ, encoded by the genes T3Rα and T3Rβ respectively. The T3Rα gene …

We have investigated the cell cycle-related mechanisms that lead to the emergence of
primate areas 17 and 18. These areas are characterized by striking differences in …
