Lipids make smooth brains gyrate.

The surface area of the cerebral cortex has increased massively during mammalian evolution and this change has been accompanied by folding of the cortical sheet into gyri. The molecular mechanisms that control cortical size are poorly understood. A recent study suggests that the regulation of cortical size might involve phospholipids, by showing that their addition to cultured embryonic mouse c...

How Brains Make Mental Models

Many psychologists, philosophers, and computer scientist have written about mental models, but have remained vague about the nature of such models. Do they consist of propositions, concepts, rules, images, or some other kind of mental representation? This paper will argue that a unified account can be achieved by understanding mental models as representations consisting of patterns of activatio...

Micro-RNAs meet epigenetics to make for better brains.

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of regulatory non‐coding RNAs and epigenetics in controlling the differentiation of somatic stem cells. Two major pathways characterize these fields: micro‐RNAs (miRNAs) and DNA methylation. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Lv et al show that during mammalian corticogenesis, miR‐15b inhibits cytosine demethylation by targeting Tet3, a key methylcytos...

Transcriptional Regulation and Alternative Splicing Make for Better Brains

In this issue of Neuron, Johnson et al. employ a unique whole-genome exon-level analysis of the developing human brain showing that 76% of genes are expressed along with unexpectedly high levels of differential expression. These results have important consequences for understanding normal and pathological function and provide implications about the uniqueness of being human.

Does 'Relationship Intelligence' Make Big Brains in Birds?

Lately, Emery et al. developed a bird-specific modification of the "social brain hypothesis", termed "relationship intelligence hypothesis". Although the idea may be valuable, we doubt that it is supported by sufficient evidence and critically discuss some of the arguments raised by the authors in favour of their new idea.
