The paper finds that cat and human brains age similarly, allowing cross-species age alignment, and suggests cats, especially pet cats, are natural models for human aging.

The paper aligns developmental timelines between mice and humans using diffusion MRI to map white matter pathway maturation and finds species-specific differences in brain development.

The paper aligns ages across 8 primate species using behavior, anatomy, and transcription data, revealing human-specific biological pathway extensions and the uniqueness of very old age in humans.

This study identifies genetic regulators of DNA replication timing in human pluripotent stem cells, revealing a histone code and combinatorial regulatory mechanisms.

The paper integrates transcriptional and connectomic data across temporal dimensions to trace the evolution of frontal cortex circuits in humans and non-human primates, finding conserved features across species.

The paper determines corresponding ages between humans and chimpanzees across the lifespan and finds that prefrontal cortex maturation timelines are not unusually extended in humans.

The paper links protracted human frontal cortex development to expanded cortico-cortical projections and supragranular gene expression, using RNA sequencing and diffusion MR tractography.

This study uses high angular resolution diffusion MRI to compare developmental programs of cortical pathways in human and mouse brains, finding conserved and deviant patterns in radial glial and corpus callosum development.

The paper integrates diffusion MR tractography with gene expression data to show increased cortico-cortical projections in primates compared to mice.

The paper compares adult hippocampal neurogenesis across species by aligning developmental timelines and finds superimposable neurogenesis envelopes when normalized.
