The Relevance of Primate Corticogenesis for Understanding the Emergence of Cognitive Abilities in Man

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASID,volume 69))

Abstract

The expansion of the cerebral hemispheres distinguishes higher mammals and provides the morphological substrate for the rich behavioral repertoire found in primates including man. In the present paper we aim to examine the factors which control the development of the cerebral cortex.
