      abstract = {Leaders in cognitive psychology, comparative biology, and  neuroscience discuss patterns of convergence and divergence  seen in studies of human and nonhuman primate brains.The  extraordinary overlap between human and chimpanzee genomes  does not result in an equal overlap between human and  chimpanzee thoughts, sensations, perceptions, and emotions;  there are considerable similarities but also considerable  differences between human and nonhuman primate brains. From  Monkey Brain to Human Brain uses the latest findings in  cognitive psychology, comparative biology, and neuroscience  to look at the complex patterns of convergence and  divergence in primate cortical organization and  function.Several chapters examine the use of modern  technologies to study primate brains, analyzing the  potentials and the limitations of neuroimaging as well as  genetic and computational approaches. These methods, which  can be applied identically across different species of  primates, help to highlight the paradox of nonlinear  primate evolution--the fact that major changes in brain  size and functional complexity resulted from small changes  in the genome. Other chapters identify plausible analogs or  homologs in nonhuman primates for such human cognitive  functions as arithmetic, reading, theory of mind, and  altruism; examine the role of parietofrontal circuits in  the production and comprehension of actions; analyze the  contributions of the prefrontal and cingulate cortices to  cognitive control; and explore to what extent visual  recognition and visual attention are related in humans and  other primates.The Fyssen Foundation is dedicated to  encouraging scientific inquiry into the cognitive  mechanisms that underlie animal and human behavior and has  long sponsored symposia on topics of central importance to  the cognitive sciences.},
