Conserved and divergent mechanisms of cortical development across mammalian brain evolution

Abstract

During vertebrate evolution, the mammalian brain underwent significant changes, such as the emergence of a six-layered neocortex and an expansion and diversification of interhemispheric connectivity. The subsequent emergence of the corpus callosum exclusively in eutherian mammals, after they diverged from marsupials and monotremes, was another Publications included in this thesis
