,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
