Brodmann has pioneered structural brain mapping. He considered functional and
pathological criteria for defining cortical areas in addition to cytoarchitecture. Starting from …

The tremendous expansion and the differentiation of the neocortex constitute two major
events in the evolution of the mammalian brain. The increase in size and complexity of our …

Completely revised and updated, this book focuses on sensory perceptual problems as
identified by individuals on the autism spectrum. Despite frequently being identified by …

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

Brain function relies on the ability of neural networks to maintain stable levels of activity,
while experiences sculpt them. In the neocortex, the balance between activity and stability …

Schizophrenia is a devastating mental illness. Although its etiology is still largely unknown,
strides have been taken throughout the last several decades to elucidate the nature of the …

The prefrontal cortex of the primate brain has a modular architecture based on the
aggregation of neurons in minicolumnar arrangements having afferent and efferent …

Neuronal spiking activity encoding working memory (WM) is robust in primate association
cortices but weak or absent in early sensory cortices. This may be linked to changes in the …

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been extensively used for determining spatial
distributions of molecules in biological samples, and there is increasing interest in using MSI …

Excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance, defined as the balance between excitation and inhibition
of synaptic activity in a neuronal network, accounts in part for the normal functioning of the …
