The paper identifies the temporal emergence of genetic variants linked to human brain and cognitive traits over the past five million years.

This study shows that human brain dynamics differ from chimpanzees in dynamic range distribution, supporting faster integration in transmodal systems.

The paper investigates how white matter connectivity scales with brain size across primate species, finding a bottleneck in connectivity in larger brains.

The paper links the rapid evolutionary expansion of cognitive brain networks to gene expression patterns and shows associations with cognitive traits and disorders.

The paper examines how evolutionary changes in human brain connectivity overlap with schizophrenia-related changes, finding that human-specific connections are more involved in schizophrenia pathology.

The paper quantifies prefrontal cortex (PFC) size in humans relative to nonhuman primates, finding humans have significantly larger PFC gray and white matter volumes compared to chimpanzees and macaques.
