The human cerebral cortex is vastly expanded relative to other primates and
disproportionately occupied by distributed association regions. Here we offer a hypothesis …

Comparative studies of the brain in mammals suggest that there are general architectural
principles governing its growth and evolutionary development. We are beginning to …

The neocortex of mammals is composed of cortical fields that have a unique organization
associated with the animal's ecological niche and lifestyle. Each cortical field has a specific …

Among terrestrial mammals, elephants share the unique status, along with humans and
great apes, of having large brains, being long-lived and having offspring that require long …

The evolution of the brain in mammals has been accompanied by a reorganization of the
brain as a result of differential growth of certain brain regions. Consequently, the geometry of …

A substantial body of evidence links differences in brain size to differences in brain
organization. We have hypothesized that the developmental aspect of this relation plays a …

The computer metaphor has served brain science well as a tool for comprehending neural
systems. Nevertheless, we propose here that this metaphor be replaced or supplemented by …

This study compares a whole brain of the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima) with that of a
common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging …

This paper shortly reviews the measures used to estimate neural synchronization in
experimental settings. Our focus is on multivariate measures of dependence based on the …

The dynamic pattern of functional connectivity during a working memory task was
investigated by means of the short-time directed transfer function. A clear-cut picture of …
