Equivocal evidence for a link between megalencephaly-related genes and primate brain size evolution

Abstract A large brain is a defining feature of modern humans, and much work has been dedicated to exploring the molecular underpinnings of this trait. Although numerous studies have focused on genes associated with human microcephaly, no studies have explicitly focused on genes associated with mega...
