Evolution provides an important window into how cortical organization shapes function and
vice versa. The complex mosaic of changes in brain morphology and functional organization�…

Evolutionary adaptations of temporo-parietal cortex are considered to be a critical
specialization of the human brain. Cortical adaptations, however, can affect different aspects�…

The temporal lobe is implicated in higher cognitive processes and is one of the regions that
underwent substantial reorganization during primate evolution. Its functions are instantiated�…

Brain structure scaffolds intrinsic function, supporting cognition and ultimately behavioral
flexibility. However, it remains unclear how a static, genetically controlled architecture�…

The macaque brain serves as a model for the human brain, but its suitability is challenged
by unique human features, including connectivity reconfigurations, which emerged during�…

Evolution-driven functional changes in the primate brain are typically assessed by aligning
monkey and human activation maps using cortical surface expansion models. These models�…

Primate evolution has been accompanied by complex reorganizations in brain anatomy and
function. Little is known, however, about the relationship between anatomical and functional�…

The primate cerebral cortex displays a hierarchy that extends from primary sensorimotor to
association areas, supporting increasingly integrated function underpinned by a gradient of�…

Comparative analyses of primate brain evolution have highlighted changes in size and
internal organization as key factors underlying species diversity. It remains, however�…

The great promise of comparative neuroscience is to understand why brains differ by
investigating the relations between variations in the organization of different brains, their�…
