,What's Special about the Human Brain?


which area in humans is disproportionately large
compared to great apes <<<correct answer is>>>> frontal
pole

describe the area 10 microstructure differences btwn
humans and chimps <<<correct answer is>>>> grey level
ratio in layer III is LOWER in humans
increase space for connections

spines in prefrontal pyramidal neurons of humans
<<<correct answer is>>>> disproportionately number of
spines in PFC in humans
spine-- proxy for synaptic inputs

describe the shifts in functional cortical system in humans
what does this result in
how does this shift development? <<<correct answer
is>>> larger proportion association area in human
neocortex (frontal, temporal, parietal)
-greater proportion of cerebral cortex is devoted to
integration of information and conceptual thought
-develops late

brain evolutionary changes <<<correct answer is>>> inc
brain size
-inc region size

, -inc neuron number
-inc. in connectivity/synapses
-inc. in plasticity
-delayed maturation

how does DNA affect phenotype <<<correct answer
is>>>> DNA specifies instruction to build proteins (DNA
coding sequences)
DNA determines in which conditions protein coding genes
are expressed (DNA regulatory sequences)

what is a major finding of gene expression studies in
humans, chimps, orangutangs, macaques <<<correct
answer is>>>> accelerated rate of gene expression
evolution in brain compared to other tissues

chimpanzees are more similar to humans than macaques
in ______ expression, but more similar to macaques than
humans in _____ expression <<<correct answer
is>>>> blood and liver
brain (frontal cortex)

upregulated genes in humans are involved in what (2)
<<<correct answer is>>>> 1. synaptic function and
plasticity
2. energy metabolism
