TL;DR: Critical analysis of postmortem and CT scan data indicates that prosopagnosia is associated with bilateral lesions of the central visual system and those lesions are functionally symmetric.

TL;DR: The caudal levels of the orbitofrontal area were found to give rise to an additional projection which terminated in the entorhinal cortex and the transitional cortices bordering the rhinal sulcus, providing a much more direct means for the frontal lobe to influence the hippocampus than those involving the cingulate gyrus.

TL;DR: Investigation of cortical projections in the rhesus monkey suggests a previously undescribed principle of organization within the telencephalon, namely, that areas of cerebral cortex having reciprocal cortico-cortical connections, while having unique overall patterns of projection to the caudate nucleus, project, in part, to one and the same region of the nucleus.

TL;DR: The human brain is larger relative to the rest of the brain than it is in the apes, and its supragranular layers have more space available for connections with other higher-order association areas, which suggests that the neural substrates supporting cognitive functions associated with this part of the cortex enlarged and became specialized during hominid evolution.

TL;DR: It is argued that this arrangement of afferent imput may afford a convergence of limbic and sensory information in area PG and that this may subserve a significant function in the process of sensory attention.
