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
Comparison of the expression profiles of 2,721 genes in the cerebellum, cortex and pituitary gland of three American Staffordshire terriers, one beagle and one fox hound revealed regional expression d
Sequence divergence of cis-regulatory elements drives species-specific traits, but how this manifests in the evolution of the neocortex at the molecular and cellular level remains to be elucidated. We
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
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
