The history of vitamin A goes back over one hundred years, but our realization of its
importance for the brain and cognition is much more recent. The brain is more efficient than …

In this paper, we review evidence from comparative studies of primate cortical organization,
highlighting recent findings and hypotheses that may help us to understand the rules …

Tissue and organ function has been conventionally understood in terms of the interactions
among discrete and homogeneous cell types. This approach has proven difficult in …

It is generally accepted that the direct connection from the motor cortex to spinal motor
neurons is responsible for dexterous hand movements in primates,,. However, the role of the …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) and its connections with the mediodorsal thalamus are crucial
for cognitive flexibility and working memory and are thought to be altered in disorders such …

Background Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of calvarial sutures, is a common
craniofacial abnormality. Causative mutations in more than 10 genes have been identified …

We examined the expression patterns of 4 layer-specific genes in monkey and mouse
cortices by fluorescence double in situ hybridization. Based on their coexpression profiles …

To study the molecular mechanism how cortical areas are specialized in adult primates, we
searched for area-specific genes in macaque monkeys and found striking enrichment of …

In the published paper of Nakamura et al.(2007), the double primes referred to in Figs 1, 2, 7
and 8 were corrupted throughout the text and legends at an early conversion stage of …

The nuclear receptor ligand retinoic acid (RA) has been identified as an endogenous
regulatory factor in the hippocampus, acting on pyramidal neurons and granule neuron …
