Estrogen regulation of microcephaly genes and evolution of brain sexual dimorphism in primates
BACKGROUND: Sexual dimorphism in brain size is common among primates, including humans, apes and some Old World monkeys. In these species, the brain size of males is generally larger than that of females. Curiously, this dimorphism has persisted over the course of primate evolution and human origin,...
