Abstract: The neocortex is a thick, laminated sheet of neurons found in the mammalian brain. The question of how it evolved is interesting because reptiles and other vertebrates have nothing quite like the neocortex, yet they evolved from the same early amniotes (stem reptiles) as mammals. Fresh ideas were brought to bear on the issue at a meeting on the evolutionary and developmental biology of the cerebral cortex.
