From Genes to Brains: Molecular Evolution and Mammalian Brain Cellular Diversity

Mammalian brains exhibit extensive diversity in size, cellular composition, and organization, yet the molecular evolutionary changes associated with this phenotypic diversification remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether protein-sequence evolution covaries with quantitative differences in brain phenotypes across mammals. We integrated 29 brain and body traits with…
