New insights into the classification and nomenclature of cortical GABAergic interneurons

Javier DeFelipe, +43 more
TL;DR: A possible taxonomical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based interactive system that allows experts to classify neurons with pre-determined criteria is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic costs and evolutionary implications of human brain development

TL;DR: The finding that human brain glucose demands peak during childhood, and evidence that brain metabolism and body growth rate covary inversely across development, support the hypothesis that the high costs of human brain development require compensatory slowing of body growth rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular Scaling Rules for the Brains of Marsupials: Not as “Primitive” as Expected

TL;DR: The results suggest that Australasian marsupials have diverged from the ancestral Theria neuronal scaling rules, and support the suggestion that the scaling of average neuronal cell size with increasing numbers of neurons varies in evolution independently of the allocation of neurons across structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of increased glia-neuron ratios in the human frontal cortex.

TL;DR: Analysis of glia–neuron ratios across frontal areas 4, 9L, 32, and 44 in a sample of humans, chimpanzees, and macaque monkeys showed that regions involved in specialized human cognitive functions have not evolved differentially higher requirements for metabolic support.
