Mapping cortical morphology in the human and non-human primate brain and relations to function.
Symposium at OHBM 2021 organized by Trisanna Sprung-Much, Nicole Eichert, & Michael Petrides
This symposium will provide an overview of some of the cutting-edge research on cortical morphology, research that has provided an anatomical framework with which to study the functional organization of the cortex. Studies presented here will provide examples of morphology-to-function relationships that are valuable for analyses that aim to capture individual patterns of brain organization at the single subject level. The comparative anatomical studies of non-human primates provide compelling insight into the evolution of the cerebral cortex and the emergence of higher cognitive processes.
