Cortical Folding: When, Where, How, and Why? by Striedter, Georg F, Srinivasan, Shyam, Monuki, Edwin S

“…Why the cerebral cortex folds in some mammals but not in others has long fascinated and mystified neurobiologists. Over the past century-especially the past…”

Lack of neocortex does not imply fish cannot feel pain by Striedter, Georg

“…Some contemporary scientists are using comparative neurobiological data to argue that non-mammalian vertebrates have feelings, most notably of pain (e.g.,…”

Developmental origins of mosaic brain evolution: Morphometric analysis of the developing zebra finch brain by Charvet, Christine J., Striedter, Georg F.

“…In adult zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), the telencephalon occupies 64% of the entire brain. This fraction is similar to what is seen in parrots, but many…”

FGF2 delays tectal neurogenesis, increases tectal cell numbers, and alters tectal lamination in embryonic chicks by McGowan, Luke D, Alaama, Roula A, Striedter, Georg F

“…Intraventricular injections of the fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) are known to increase the size of the optic tectum in embryonic chicks. Here we show that…”
