The brain of modern humans has evolved remarkable computational abilities that enable
higher cognitive functions. These capacities are tightly linked to an increase in the size and …

The nervous system—in particular, the brain and its cognitive abilities—is among humans'
most distinctive and impressive attributes. How the nervous system has changed in the …

The human CNS follows a pattern of development typical of all mammals, but certain
neurodevelopmental features are highly derived. Building the human CNS requires the …

The procedure of neurogenesis has made numerous achievements in the past decades,
