Introduction: The brain is highly dynamic with many vertebrates displaying brain cell turnover beyond embryological stages. Seasonally breeding animals such as green anole lizards exhibit seasonal differences in brain mor...
The morphological underpinnings of stage-wise cognitive development. Recognizing Piagetian transitions in structural brain maturation [0.03%]
基于形态构建的认知阶段发展。在大脑结构成熟中识别皮亚杰的过渡期

Marina Melchionna et al.
Introduction Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development posits that human intelligence progresses through four distinct, sequential stages. While modern neurobiology recognizes a general posterior-to-anterior gradient in brain maturation...

Introduction: The Ceprano calvaria from central Italy (~400 ka) offers crucial insights into human evolution during the Middle Pleistocene. Despite its relatively late age, when derived Neanderthal-like specimens already ...
Anatomical and Volumetric Description of the Baird's Beaked Whale (Berardius bairdii) brain from Magnetic Resonance Imaging [0.03%]
基于磁共振影像的贝氏喙鲸大脑解剖及体积描述

Baird's beaked whale, a member of the family Ziphiidae, is one of the largest odontocetes, second only in body mass to the sperm whale. Baird's beaked whales are known for their ability to dive to exceptional depths; however, this behavior ...
Immunohistochemical Staining of the Brain of the Tuatara Sphenodon punctatus [0.03%]

The tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) is the only extant rhynchocephalian reptile and it appears to closely resemble fossil rhynchocephalians, implying retention of primitive rhynchocephalian traits. Because of their endangered status, however,...
Macroevolutionary patterns of endocast lateralization in catarrhines and fossil hominins [0.03%]
旧世界猴和古人类化石大脑半球化模式的宏进化现象

Introduction: Brain lateralization is a longstanding feature of the primate lineage and is often considered distinctive of the human lineage, particularly in relation to lateralized behaviors. However, little is known abo...
Phylogenetic patterns and genomic correlates of pronounced neocortical reduction in New World monkeys [0.03%]

Background: Neural circuits form the basis for brain function and behavior. However, solely focusing on adult brains can sometimes overlook prior events that may have shaped this anatomy. These other perspectives can prov...
