Taking the measure of diversity: comparative alternatives to the model-animal paradigm in cortical neuroscienceT M Preuss
Institute of Cognitive Science, Cognitive Evolution Group, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, New Iberia, LA 70560, USA
Brain Behav Evol 55:287-99. 2000..Finally, freed from the doctrine of basic uniformity, neuroscientists can pursue the study of human cortical specializations, and so advance our understanding of what distinguishes humans as a biological species...- Human-specific organization of primary visual cortex: alternating compartments of dense Cat-301 and calbindin immunoreactivity in layer 4ATodd M Preuss
University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Cognitive Evolution Group, New Iberia, LA 70560, USA
Cereb Cortex 12:671-91. 2002..The calbindin-rich compartments in human layer 4A cannot be related to a particular geniculostriate pathway on neurochemical grounds; they may constitute an interneuronal population that increased in human evolution...

Nat Rev Genet 5:850-60. 2004..These results show how genetic and genomic methods can shed light on the basis of human neural and cognitive specializations, and have important implications for neuroscience, anthropology and medicine... - Chromosomal rearrangements and the genomic distribution of gene-expression divergence in humans and chimpanzeesTomas Marques-Bonet
Departament de Ciencies Experimentals i de la Salut, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Doctor Aiguader, 80 08003 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
