Neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive neurons in the cerebral cortex of humans and other haplorrhine primatesMary Ann Raghanti
Department of Anthropology and School of Biomedical Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
Am J Primatol 75:415-24. 2013..However, variation among species warrants further investigation into the distribution of this neuromodulator system...
Comparative analysis of the nucleus basalis of Meynert among primatesM A Raghanti
Department of Anthropology, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA School of Biomedical Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
Neuroscience 184:1-15. 2011....
Species-specific distributions of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive neurons in the prefrontal cortex of anthropoid primatesM A Raghanti
Department of Anthropology, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
Neuroscience 158:1551-9. 2009..It is possible that the catecholaminergic afferent input to layer III in chimpanzees and other great apes covaries with loss of TH-ir cells within the cortical mantle...
Cortical dopaminergic innervation among humans, chimpanzees, and macaque monkeys: a comparative studyM A Raghanti
Department of Anthropology and School of Biomedical Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
Neuroscience 155:203-20. 2008..Our findings suggest significant modifications of dopamine's role in cortical organization occurred in the evolution of the apes, with further changes in the descent of humans...
Cholinergic innervation of the frontal cortex: differences among humans, chimpanzees, and macaque monkeysMary Ann Raghanti
Department of Anthropology and School of Biomedical Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
J Comp Neurol 506:409-24. 2008..This feature was also sporadically observed in chimpanzee cortex. Our findings suggest a potential alteration of cortical cholinergic afferents within the prefrontal cortex of humans and chimpanzees, to the exclusion of macaque monkeys...
Differences in cortical serotonergic innervation among humans, chimpanzees, and macaque monkeys: a comparative studyMary Ann Raghanti
Department of Anthropology and School of Biomedical Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
Cereb Cortex 18:584-97. 2008..These features may represent a greater capacity for cortical plasticity exclusive to hominoids. Taken together, these results indicate a significant reorganization of cortical serotonergic transmission in humans and chimpanzees...
Evolution of increased glia-neuron ratios in the human frontal cortexChet C Sherwood
Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:13606-11. 2006....
Serial list linking by macaque monkeys (Macaca mulatta): list property limitationsF Robert Treichler
Department of Psychology, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242, USA
J Comp Psychol 121:250-9. 2007..List length as a limiting factor in linking suggested processing restrictions analogous to those observed in human list memory. Results supported further investigation of list-linking characteristics...

Department of Psychology, Kent State University, 331 Kent Hall, Kent, OH 44242, USA
Anim Cogn 13:121-31. 2010..The task was recommended as a prospective evaluator of continuity of cognitive processes among species...
Is humanlike cytoarchitectural asymmetry present in another species with complex social vocalization? A stereologic analysis of mustached bat auditory cortexChet C Sherwood
Department of Anthropology, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242 0001, USA
Brain Res 1045:164-74. 2005..Resolution of these alternatives will require further data on the microstructure of auditory cortex in species with lateralized perception of acoustic social communication...
Linking of serially ordered lists by macaque monkeys (Macaca mulatta): list position influencesF Robert Treichler
Department of Psychology, P O Box 5190, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio 44242 0001, USA
J Exp Psychol Anim Behav Process 29:211-21. 2003..Apparently, monkeys remembered and used initial list-position information, but linkage allowed inference of an integrated serial relationship among items. Results supported primate list memory as an organizational process...
Scaling of inhibitory interneurons in areas v1 and v2 of anthropoid primates as revealed by calcium-binding protein immunohistochemistryChet C Sherwood
Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Brain Behav Evol 69:176-95. 2007..Furthermore, these results show that phylogenetic variation exists in the microcircuitry of visual cortex that could have general implications for sensory processing...
Inhibitory interneurons of the human prefrontal cortex display conserved evolution of the phenotype and related genesChet C Sherwood
Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA
Proc Biol Sci 277:1011-20. 2010..Thus, it is likely that other significant modifications to the connectivity and molecular biology of the prefrontal cortex were overlaid on this conserved interneuron architecture in the course of human evolution...
