Deskripsi
The paracingulate sulcus (PCGS) is a brain structure long thought to be specific to humans, and variation in this structure has been linked to personality traits and cognitive abilities. In this study, Céline Amiez and Jérôme Sallet et al. analyze brain imaging data from humans and chimpanzees to demonstrate that the PCGS is in fact present in our closest relative and its functional connectivity in chimpanzees is comparable to that in humans.
