DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED IMAGING TRACTOGRAPHY-BASED PARCELLATION OF THE HUMAN PARIETAL CORTEX AND COMPARISON WITH HUMAN AND MACAQUE RESTING STATE FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY (2011, background): “We therefore investigated the functional connectivity between the IPL and an area that is particularly extended in the homonids compared with the macaque brain, namely the aPFC (Semendeferi et al., 2001).”
The neuroanatomy of general intelligence: sex matters (2005, background): “, 2002), except for BA 10 which is relatively larger in humans (Semendeferi et al., 2001).”
Individual Variability in Functional Connectivity Architecture of the Human Brain (2013, background): “The ratio of local to distributed areal projections is suggested to be critical to the evolution of higher-order cognitive functions including language, reasoning, and foresight (Kaas, 2005; Semendeferi et al., 2001).”
Equal numbers of neuronal and nonneuronal cells make the human brain an isometrically scaled‐up primate brain (2009, result): “…et al., 2002) of the human brain have the same relative size as in great apes, even though the distribution of mass within the WM and individual cortical areas in humans may differ from that in other primates (Semendeferi et al., 2001; Rilling and Seligman, 2002; Schoenemann et al., 2005).”
The Human Brain in Numbers: A Linearly Scaled-up Primate Brain (2009, neutral): “…not diminish the role that particular neuroanatomical arrangements, such as changes in the relative size of functional cortical areas (for instance, Semendeferi et al., 2001; Rilling and Seligman, 2002), in the volume of prefrontal white matter (Schoenemann et al., 2005) or in the size of specifi…”
Functional Specialization within Rostral Prefrontal Cortex (Area 10): A Meta-analysis (2006, methodology): “Gilbert et al. 933 according to the atlas of Talairach and Tournoux (1988), and (3) they reported one or more activations with peak coordinates falling within BA 10, according to the atlas of Talairach and Tournoux or as defined by the Brodmann map in MNI space supplied with MRIcro ( Rorden & Brett,”
The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: Converging neuroimaging evidence (2007, background): “…with other primates (Brodmann 1912), more contemporary research finds little evidence of proportional differences among primates when great apes are included in the sample (Semendeferi et al. 2002), except for Brodmann area (BA) 10, which is relatively larger in humans (Semendeferi et al. 2001).”
Evolution of the Size and Functional Areas of the Human Brain (2006, background): “By contrast, another subdivision of the prefrontal, Brodmann’s area 10, which is known to mediate tasks involving planning and organization of thought and future behavior (Carpenter & Sutin 1983), is 6.6 times larger in humans than in pongids (Semendeferi et al. 2001).”
How green is the grass on the other side? Frontopolar cortex and the evidence in favor of alternative courses of action. (2009, positive): “Given that there is some evidence that the FPC and mid-IPS region are disproportionally expanded in the human brain (Husain and Nachev, 2007; Semendeferi et al., 2001 ), it is also possible that other routes between these regions may be found to exist in the human.”
The Brain's Default Network (2008, background): “Some evidence suggests that area 10 is disproportionately expanded in humans even when contrasted to great apes, suggesting specialization during recent hominid evolution (Semendeferi et al. 2001).”
Monkey to human comparative anatomy of the frontal lobe association tracts. (2012, background): “…tracing in monkey (case 25 modified from Schmahmann and Pandya, 2006) and human in vivo SD tractography shows simian-human similarities. explain the larger relative size of area 10 in humans (Semendeferi et al., 2001) and the in relative increase of frontal white matter (Smaers et al., 2010, 2011).”
The somatic marker hypothesis: A neural theory of economic decision (2005, background): “…primates have revealed that the major advancement in the size, complexity, and connectivity of the frontal lobes in humans relates primarily to BA 10, i.e., the frontal pole (Semendeferi et al., 2001), and not so much to the more posterior areas of the VM cortex (Semendeferi et al., 2002).”
Loss of willpower: Abnormal neural mechanisms of impulse control and decision making in addiction (2005, background): “…the major advancement in the size, complexity, and connectivity of the frontal lobes in humans relates primarily to Brodmann Area 10, i.e., the frontal pole, (Semendeferi et al., 2001), and not so much to the more posterior areas of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (Semendeferi et al., 2002).”
Social cognitive neuroscience: a review of core processes. (2007, background): “…feels effortful and resource consuming, it is not surprising that this process relies on neural structures that have undergone recent evolutionary development (Semendeferi et al. 2001) and whose activity is interrupted by cognitive load manipulations (Greicius et al. 2003, McKiernan et al. 2003).”
The social brain? (2007, background): “In terms of anatomy, there is some evidence that this region has shown disproportionate expansion in recent evolution (Semendeferi et al. 2001).”
