The cephalopod mollusc, Nautilus is an enigmatic organism possible representing one of the most basal lineages in the group (sometimes it is considered as a living fossil). Thus, Nautilus is one of k
The evolution of advanced cognition in vertebrates is associated with the expansion of specialized areas in the forebrain (the six-layered neocortex in mammals and the dorsal ventricular ridge in bird
Neuronal activity is temperature sensitive and affects important traits, such as behavior. Yet we know next to nothing about the evolutionary response of neuronal phenotypes in new temperature environ
We compared the genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation in the brains of humans to those of our closest evolutionary relative, chimpanzees, using base-pair resolution whole-genome methylation maps of
