Incomplete interhemispheric fissure remodelling determines corpus callosum size in humans and BTBR N2 mice that carry a deletion in Draxin.

Axon guidance molecules DCC and NTN1 regulate astroglial-mediated interhemispheric remodelling required for corpus callosum formation in humans and mice.

Openly available structural imaging processing pipeline for chimpanzees including registration templates and macro-anatomical parcellation shows human-like cerebral aging and medial hemispheric organization.

Brain asymmetry in cortical surface area shows lifespan stability from early childhood to old age and is more underpinned by genetic differences, whereas asymmetry in cortical thickness grows through childhood and adolescence and is minimally explained by genetics.

Experiments in a mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease using germ-free and conventionally housed animals reveal that microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids promote the deposition of cerebral Aβ plaques.

Perceived and unperceived visual stimuli that are contrast matched to produce similar BOLD responses in V1 elicit clearly distinct changes in the neurochemical profile, implying a perception-related dissociation between neurometabolic and neurovascular response.

A new application of transcranial ultrasound safely modulates brain activation in primates for up to 2 hours after 40 seconds of stimulation.

Primates use their eyes to keep track of spatial goals, and this strategy is reflected by the functional connectivity between a traditionally considered optic flow area (dorsomedial superior temporal area) and prefrontal cortex.
