These researchers had already found that nearly 70% of newborn baboons, like human babies, had early asymmetry in the planum temporale(PT)area of the brain. The PT, which is also a key area for ...

Anatomy is the field of biology that studies ... well as the relationships between different parts. Models of the human brain’s cortex have been made by combining cells from up to five donors.
