Evolutionary neurobiology:  The neocortex comes together

Jon H. Kaas1 & Anton Reiner2

A recent meeting*on the evolutionary developmental biology of the cerebral cortex brought together evolutionary biologists and comparative and developmental neuroscientists to discuss how the mammalian neocortex evolved. The neocortex is a thick, laminated sheet of neurons, which varies in size and regional differentiation between different mammals, and is especially impressive in humans.
