A similar process might have occurred in the phylogeny of mammals, once thedorsalcortexhad acquired those developmental mechanisms leading to the six-layered architecture.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In other words, they intend to explain how to transform gradually a reptiliandorsalcortexinto a mammalian isocortex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is suggested that thedorsalcortexof reptiles expanded in this dorsalizing process to become both entorhinal/subicular cortex and sensory neocortex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The small dorsal pallium in amphibians is likely to be homologous to thedorsalcortexof reptiles and the hyperpallium of birds.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Interposed between the medial and thedorsalcortex, a dorsomedial cortex is observed in many reptiles.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Rather, these effects are consistent with thedorsalcortexbeing similar to entorhinal/subicular cortex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It might be necessary to know the mechanism that allowed thedorsalcortexin mammals to expand in order to understand cortical evolution.
From theCambridge English Corpus
They propose the reptiliandorsalcortexto be the ancestral brain structure to the mammalian isocortex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the reptiliandorsalcortex, the cortical plate remained as one cell-dense layer that is subdivided into few, poorly segregated cortical areas.
From theCambridge English Corpus
But why did thedorsalcortexexpand in mammals and not in reptiles?
From theCambridge English Corpus
These pathways end in the reptiliandorsalcortexand in the mammalian somatosensory cortex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Rather, thedorsalcortexseems to be involved in learning and memory.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This, however, does not explain the differentiation of thedorsalcortexthat is essential for complex behavior.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The persistent expression of particular homeotic genes in dorsal areas of mammals could allow the specification of intermediate cell phenotypes within thedorsalcortexterritory.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this case, the most likely candidate for homology with the isocortex is the reptiliandorsalcortex, which derives from the dorsal pallium.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We consider that, at this point, evidence tends to favor correspondence of the isocortex with thedorsalcortexof reptiles.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It should be noted that only turtles among reptiles seem to have a visual thalamic projection to thedorsalcortex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
According to the authors, thedorsalcortexin reptiles is the main ancestral structure to the isocortex in mammals.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Perhaps thedorsalcortexof reptiles enlarged and subdivided to form both subicular/entorhinal and neocortical subdivisions in mammals.
