Cortical expansion. a Cortical expansion from chimpanzees to humans. Blue: below-median human expansion (i.e., < × 2 expansion compared to chimpanzee); red: above-median expansion (i.e., > × 2). b Brain maps of the seven resting-state functional networks according to the DK-114 atlas, describing the visual (VN), somatomotor (SMN), dorsal-attention (DAN), limbic (LN), ventral-attention (VAN), frontal-parietal (FPN), and default-mode network (DMN). c Levels of normalized cortical expansion per functional network in descending order of mean expansion. d Levels of normalized cortical expansion in higher-order cognitive networks (DMN, FPN, VAN) versus the SMN and VN. Dots depict cortical regions. Colors represent functional networks, as in panel b. Central marks are mean expansions. * indicates a two-sided p-value < 0.05, FDR corrected, two-sample t-test.
