Genetic mechanisms control the linear scaling between related cortical primary and higher order sensory areas

Genetic mechanisms control the linear scaling between related cortical primary and higher order sensory areas

In mammals, the neocortical layout consists of few modality-specific primary sensory areas and a multitude of higher order ones. Abnormal layout of cortical areas may disrupt sensory function and behavior. Developmental genetic mechanisms specify primary areas, but mechanisms influencing higher orde...
