Comparative neuroscience: insights into human distinctiveness and disease
Save as calendar entryBrains vary both between and within species. For instance, relatively large brains distinguish humans from other primates. Additionally, some people are more likely to exhibit certain brain-related conditions, due to their age, biological sex, etc. In this talk, Dr. DeCasien details how the proximate and ultimate explanations for (i.e., the how and why behind) this variation can be illuminated through phylogenetic comparative studies and multi-omic perspectives.
