BACKGROUND The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons, each of which makes
thousands of synaptic connections. Although individual neurons can themselves be …

Although language, and therefore spoken language or speech, is often considered unique
to humans, the past several decades have seen a surge in nonhuman animal studies that …

Abstract Changes in the abundance and diversity of neural cell types, and their connectivity,
shape brain composition and provide the substrate for behavioral evolution. Although …

Some birds achieve primate-like levels of cognition, even though their brains tend to be

INTRODUCTION The brains of extant animals have evolved over hundreds of millions of
years from simple circuits. Cell types diversified, connections elaborated, and new brain …

The wide variety of animal behaviours that can be observed today arose through the
evolution of their underlying neural circuits. Advances in understanding the mechanisms …

Reference-quality genomes are expected to provide a resource for studying gene structure,
function, and evolution. However, often genes of interest are not completely or accurately …
