Neurodevelopment of the association cortices: Patterns, mechanisms, and implications for psychopathology (2021, neutral): “…temporal, and parietal association cortices that are more expanded than those of both macaques and chimpanzees—and substantially more expanded than expected from increases in brain size alone (Buckner and Krienen, 2013; Donahue et al., 2018; Hill et al., 2010a; Wei et al., 2019; Xu et al., 2020).”
Answering Schrödinger's question: A free-energy formulation (2017, neutral): “opment that enhance evolvability by responding flexibly to environmental change [75,76].”
Consciousness and Moral Responsibility (2015, neutral): “…the rapid evolutionary expansion of the cerebral cortex in humans, relative to other primates, occurred precisely in brain areas involved in association networks; that is, in brain regions that underwrite processes of integration of information from different modalities (Buckner and Krienen 2013).”
Brain Plasticity and Human Evolution (2017, neutral): “…occurs in a neocortex that is concomitantly also growing to be more than threefold the size of the cortex in chimpanzees and other great apes, meaning that a much greater diversity of connectional networks has the potential to be impacted by developmental plasticity (Buckner & Krienen 2013).”
Molecular Diversity and Specializations among the Cells of the Adult Mouse Brain (2018, background): “Cell-type Specialization between Cortical Poles The cerebral cortex processes motor, sensory, and associative information and is expanded in primates, especially humans (Buckner and Krienen, 2013).”
neuromaps: structural and functional interpretation of brain maps (2022, result): “…principal component of gene expression ( r = −0.51, P spin = 0.027) and intracortical myelin ( r = −0.46, P spin = 0.005), consistent with the idea that phylogenetically newer cortex is characterized by divergence from genomic gradients and canonical stimulus–response circuit configurations 54 .”
The cerebellum and cognitive function: 25 years of insight from anatomy and neuroimaging. (2013, background): “That general circuit organization may have carried forward with relatively little modification into the primate lineage and later into the hominin lineage, leading to the large cerebellum and organization that we see today in our brains (Buckner and Krienen, 2013).”
BrainSpace: a toolbox for the analysis of macroscale gradients in neuroimaging and connectomics datasets (2019, background): “, 2019), while consideration of gradients across species has highlighted how evo60 lution has shaped more integrative features of the cortical landscape (Goulas et al., 2019; Buckner and Krienen, 2013; Huntenburg et al., 2018; Xu et al., 2019; Buckner and Margulies, 2019; Fulcher et al., 2019).”
Linking Structure and Function in Macroscale Brain Networks. (2020, neutral): “A prominent account posits that rapid evolutionary expansion of association cortices effectively untethers polysensory regions from molecular signaling gradients and canonical sensory-motor activity cascades, resulting in fundamentally different structure–function relationships along the unimodaltra”
Cognitive Network Neuroscience (2015, background): “Thus, the major organization of human functional systems forms a robust heterarchy with a balance of information segregating and integrating functions (see Bressler & Richter, 2015; Buckner & Krienen, 2013; Passingham, Rowe, & Sakai, 2013).”
A Single-Cell Atlas of Cell Types, States, and Other Transcriptional Patterns from Nine Regions of the Adult Mouse Brain (2018, background): “To date, single-cell gene expression studies have yielded cell-type classifications in the mouse cerebral cortex (Tasic et al., 2016a; Zeisel et al., 2015), retina (Shekhar et al., 2016), hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Campbell et al., 2017), and amygdala (Wu et al., 2017).”
Schizophrenia risk from complex variation of complement component 4 (2016, background): “In humans, adolescence and early adulthood bring extensive elimination of synapses in distributed association regions of cerebral cortex, such as the prefrontal cortex, that have greatly expanded in recent human evolution 37–40 .”
