Human Brain Evolution: Harnessing the Genomics (R)evolution to Link Genes, Cognition, and Behavior
The evolution of the human brain has resulted in numerous specialized features including higher cognitive processes such as language. Knowledge of whole-genome sequence and structural variation via high-throughput sequencing technology provides an unprecedented opportunity to view human evolution at high resolution. However, phenotype discovery is a critical component of these endeavors and the...
متن کاملCognitive genomics: Linking genes to behavior in the human brain
Correlations of genetic variation in DNA with functional brain activity have already provided a starting point for delving into human cognitive mechanisms. However, these analyses do not provide the specific genes driving the associations, which are complicated by intergenic localization as well as tissue-specific epigenetics and expression. The use of brain-derived expression datasets could bu...

routes but back home by astoundingly direct paths. Neuroscience, with its multiple levels of investigation Spatial learning involves mapping of the environment from gene to behavior and mentation, has long searched onto a common geocentric framework. Spatial learning for a conceptual framework that integrates mechanisms requires computation of egocentric (personal) velociacross functional level...
متن کاملDecoding the molecular evolution of human cognition using comparative genomics.
Identification of genetic and molecular factors responsible for the specialized cognitive abilities of humans is expected to provide important insights into the mechanisms responsible for disorders of cognition such as autism, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. Here, we discuss the use of comparative genomics for identifying salient genes and gene networks that may underlie cognition. We fo...
