We propose that the anterior cingulate cortex is a specialization of neocortex rather than a
more primitive stage of cortical evolution. Functions central to intelligent behavior, that is, …

… In our studies of neurons in the middle temporal area (Allman et a11984a) and V-II (Allman
1984b), we have provided the first experimental confirmation of this hypothesis in the …

Von Economo neurons (VENs) are a recently evolved cell type which may be involved in the
fast intuitive assessment of complex situations. As such, they could be part of the circuitry …

Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships that unite all lineages (the tree of life) is a grand
challenge. The paucity of homologous character data across disparately related lineages …

We report the existence and distribution of an unusual type of projection neuron, a large,
spindle-shaped cell, in layer Vb of the anterior cingulate cortex of pongids and hominids. These …

The true receptive field of more than 90% of neurons in the middle temporal visual area (MT)
extends well beyond the classical receptive field (crf), as mapped with conventional bar or …

… evoked potential maps and architectonic subdivisions, J. NeurophysioL, 33 (1970) 595-615. …
cortex of the cat and of the surrounding integration cortices, J. Hirnforsch., 11 (1969) 79-104. …

The von Economo neurons (VENs) are large bipolar neurons located in frontoinsular (FI) and
anterior cingulate cortex in great apes and humans, but not other primates. We performed …

To better understand the pathogenesis of brain dysfunction in Gaucher disease (GD), we
studied brain pathology in seven subjects with type 1 GD (four also exhibited parkinsonism and …

Positron-emission tomography (PET) can localize functions of the human brain by imaging
regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) during voluntary behaviour. Functional brain mapping with …
