Human-specific evolutionary markers linked to foetal neurodevelopment modulate brain surface area in schizophrenia

Human-specific evolutionary markers linked to foetal neurodevelopment modulate brain surface area in schizophrenia

Abstract Schizophrenia may represent a trade-off in the evolution of human-specific ontogenetic mechanisms that guide neurodevelopment. Human Accelerated Regions (HARs) are evolutionary markers functioning as neurodevelopmental transcription enhancers that have been associated with brain configurati...
