A Hypothesis for the Evolution of the Upper Layers of the Neocortex Through Co-Option of the Olfactory Cortex Developmental Program
HYPOTHESIS AND THEORY published: 12 May 2015 doi: 10.3389/fnins.2015.00162 A hypothesis for the evolution of the upper layers of the neocortex through co-option of the olfactory cortex developmental program Federico Luzzati 1, 2* 1 Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology (DBIOS), University of Turin, Turin, Italy, 2 Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi, Orbassano, Truin, Italy The neocortex is unique to mammals and its evolutionary origin is still highly debated. The neocortex is generated by the dorsal pallium ventricular zone, a germinative domain that in reptiles give rise to the dorsal cortex. Whether this latter allocortical structure Edited by: contains homologs of all neocortical cell types it is unclear. Recently we described a Francisco Aboitiz, + + Pontificia Universidad Catolica de population of DCX /Tbr1 cells that is specifically associated with the layer II of higher Chile, Chile order areas of both the neocortex and of the more evolutionary conserved piriform Reviewed by: cortex. In a reptile similar cells are present in the layer II of the olfactory cortex and Loreta Medina, the DVR but not in the dorsal cortex. These data are consistent with the proposal that Universidad de Lleida, Spain Gordon M. Shepherd, the reptilian dorsal cortex is homologous only to the deep layers of the neocortex while Yale University School of Medicine, the upper layers are a mammalian innovation. Based on our observations we extended USA Fernando Garcia-Moreno, these ideas by hypothesizing that this innovation was obtained by co-opting a lateral University of Oxford, UK and/or ventral pallium developmental program.

The Structural Model: a Theory Linking Connections, Plasticity, Pathology, Development and Evolution of the Cerebral Cortex
Brain Structure and Function https://doi.org/10.1007/s00429-019-01841-9 REVIEW The Structural Model: a theory linking connections, plasticity, pathology, development and evolution of the cerebral cortex Miguel Ángel García‑Cabezas1 · Basilis Zikopoulos2,3 · Helen Barbas1,3 Received: 11 October 2018 / Accepted: 29 January 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The classical theory of cortical systematic variation has been independently described in reptiles, monotremes, marsupials and placental mammals, including primates, suggesting a common bauplan in the evolution of the cortex. The Structural Model is based on the systematic variation of the cortex and is a platform for advancing testable hypotheses about cortical organization and function across species, including humans. The Structural Model captures the overall laminar structure of areas by dividing the cortical architectonic continuum into discrete categories (cortical types), which can be used to test hypotheses about cortical organization. By type, the phylogenetically ancient limbic cortices—which form a ring at the base of the cerebral hemisphere—are agranular if they lack layer IV, or dysgranular if they have an incipient granular layer IV. Beyond the dysgranular areas, eulaminate type cortices have six layers. The number and laminar elaboration of eulaminate areas differ depending on species or cortical system within a species. The construct of cortical type retains the topology of the systematic variation of the cortex and forms the basis for a predictive Structural Model, which has successfully linked cortical variation to the laminar pattern and strength of cortical connections, the continuum of plasticity and stability of areas, the regularities in the distribution of classical and novel markers, and the preferential vulnerability of limbic areas to neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. -
Ontology and Nomenclature
TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER: ONTOLOGY AND NOMENCLATURE OVERVIEW Currently no “standard” anatomical ontology is available for the description of human brain development. The main goal behind the generation of this ontology was to guide specific brain tissue sampling for transcriptome analysis (RNA sequencing) and gene expression microarray using laser microdissection (LMD), and to provide nomenclatures for reference atlases of human brain development. This ontology also aimed to cover both developing and adult human brain structures and to be mostly comparable to the nomenclatures for non- human primates. To reach these goals some structure groupings are different from what is traditionally put forth in the literature. In addition, some acronyms and structure abbreviations also differ from commonly used terms in order to provide unique identifiers across the integrated ontologies and nomenclatures. This ontology follows general developmental stages of the brain and contains both transient (e.g., subplate zone and ganglionic eminence in the forebrain) and established brain structures. The following are some important features of this ontology. First, four main branches, i.e., gray matter, white matter, ventricles and surface structures, were generated under the three major brain regions (forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain). Second, different cortical regions were named as different “cortices” or “areas” rather than “lobes” and “gyri”, due to the difference in cortical appearance between developing (smooth) and mature (gyral) human brains. Third, an additional “transient structures” branch was generated under the “gray matter” branch of the three major brain regions to guide the sampling of some important transient brain lamina and regions. Fourth, the “surface structures” branch mainly contains important brain surface landmarks such as cortical sulci and gyri as well as roots of cranial nerves. -

In a sample of twins (n = 1113), we determined structural covariance of thickness to be organized along both a posterior-to-anterior and an inferior-to-superior axis. Both organizational axes were present when investigating the genetic correlation of cortical thickness, suggesting a strong genetic component in humans, and had a comparable organization in macaques, demonstrating they are phylogenetically conserved in primates. In both species, the inferior-superior dimension of cortical organization aligned with the predictions of dual-origin theory, and in humans, we found that the posterior-to-anterior axis related to a functional topography describing a continuum of functions from basic processes involved in perception and action to more abstract Downloaded from features of human cognition. Together, our study provides important insights into how functional and evolutionary patterns converge at the level of macroscale cortical structural organization.

The Cingulate Cortex and Limbic Systems for Emotion, Action, and Memory
Brain Structure and Function https://doi.org/10.1007/s00429-019-01945-2 REVIEW The cingulate cortex and limbic systems for emotion, action, and memory Edmund T. Rolls1,2 Received: 19 April 2019 / Accepted: 19 August 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Evidence is provided for a new conceptualization of the connectivity and functions of the cingulate cortex in emotion, action, and memory. The anterior cingulate cortex receives information from the orbitofrontal cortex about reward and non-reward outcomes. The posterior cingulate cortex receives spatial and action-related information from parietal cortical areas. It is argued that these inputs allow the cingulate cortex to perform action–outcome learning, with outputs from the midcingulate motor area to premotor areas. In addition, because the anterior cingulate cortex connects rewards to actions, it is involved in emotion; and because the posterior cingulate cortex has outputs to the hippocampal system, it is involved in memory. These apparently multiple diferent functions of the cingulate cortex are related to the place of this proisocortical limbic region in brain connectivity.

Specifically, perirhinal cortex is involved in detection of novel objects and manifests neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease very early in disease progression. We scanned ex vivo brain hemispheres at standard resolution (1 mm × 1 mm × 1 mm) to construct pial/white matter surfaces in FreeSurfer and scanned again at high resolution (120 μm × 120 μm × 120 μm) to determine cortical architectural boundaries. After labeling perirhinal area 35 in the high resolution images, we mapped the high resolution labels to the surface models to localize area 35 in fourteen cases. -
Layer Pattern in Presubiculum, Parasubiculum and Entorhinal Cortex. a Review
REVIEW published: 04 October 2017 doi: 10.3389/fnana.2017.00084 The Human Periallocortex: Layer Pattern in Presubiculum, Parasubiculum and Entorhinal Cortex. A Review Ricardo Insausti 1*, Mónica Muñoz-López 1, Ana M. Insausti 2 and Emilio Artacho-Pérula 1 1Human Neuroanatomy Laboratory, School of Medicine, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain, 2Department of Health Sciences, Physical Therapy School, Public University of Navarra, Tudela, Spain The cortical mantle is not homogeneous, so that three types of cortex can be distinguished: allocortex, periallocortex and isocortex. The main distinction among those three types is based on morphological differences, in particular the number of layers, overall organization, appearance, etc., as well as its connectivity. Additionally, in the phylogenetic scale, this classification is conserved among different mammals. The most primitive and simple cortex is the allocortex, which is characterized by the presence of three layers, with one cellular main layer; it is continued by the periallocortex, which presents six layers, although with enough differences in the layer pattern to separate three different fields: presubiculum (PrS), parasubiculum (PaS), and entorhinal cortex (EC). The closest part to the allocortex (represented by the subiculum) is the PrS, which shows outer (layers I–III) and inner (V–VI) principal layers (lamina principalis externa and lamina principalis interna), both separated by a cell poor band, parallel to the pial surface (layer IV or lamina dissecans). This layer organization is present throughout the anterior- posterior axis. The PaS continues the PrS, but its rostrocaudal extent is shorter than the PrS. The organization of the PaS shows the layer pattern more clearly than in the Edited by: PrS. -
Mapping Human Cortical Areasin
The Journal of Neuroscience, August 10, 2011 • 31(32):11597–11616 • 11597 Behavioral/Systems/Cognitive Mapping Human Cortical Areas In Vivo Based on Myelin Content as Revealed by T1- and T2-Weighted MRI Matthew F. Glasser and David C. Van Essen Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110 Noninvasively mapping the layout of cortical areas in humans is a continuing challenge for neuroscience. We present a new method of mapping cortical areas based on myelin content as revealed by T1-weighted (T1w) and T2-weighted (T2w) MRI. The method is general- izable across different 3T scanners and pulse sequences. We use the ratio of T1w/T2w image intensities to eliminate the MR-related image intensity bias and enhance the contrast to noise ratio for myelin. Data from each subject were mapped to the cortical surface and aligned across individuals using surface-based registration. The spatial gradient of the group average myelin map provides an observer- independent measure of sharp transitions in myelin content across the surface—i.e., putative cortical areal borders. We found excellent agreement between the gradients of the myelin maps and the gradients of published probabilistic cytoarchitectonically defined cortical areas that were registered to the same surface-based atlas. For other cortical regions, we used published anatomical and functional information to make putative identifications of dozens of cortical areas or candidate areas. In general, primary and early unimodal association cortices are heavily myelinated and higher, multimodal, association cortices are more lightly myelinated, but there are notable exceptions in the literature that are confirmed by our results. -
Primate Anterior Cingulate Cortex: Where Motor Control Drive And
REVIEWS PRIMATE ANTERIOR CINGULATE CORTEX: WHERE MOTOR CONTROL, DRIVE AND COGNITION INTERFACE Tomá˘sPaus Controversy surrounds the function of the anterior cingulate cortex. Recent discussions about its role in behavioural control have centred on three main issues: its involvement in motor control, its proposed role in cognition and its relationship with the arousal/drive state of the organism. I argue that the overlap of these three domains is key to distinguishing the anterior cingulate cortex from other frontal regions, placing it in a unique position to translate intentions to actions. 1 TEMPERAMENT AND The past decade saw a surge of interest in the structure sulcus, which is present in only 30–50% of individuals .
