Transcriptional Mechanisms of Human-Specific Neuronal Differentiation and Specification KU Leuven
It is often considered that the most complicated structure generated by evolution is the human cerebral cortex, which is responsible for higher-order brain functions (Suzuki & Vanderhaeghen, 2015). At the phenotypic level, the most striking difference certainly resides in the differences in cognitive function between humans and other species. Cellular correlates of this distinction include features such as greater synaptic plasticity and ...
