yufanwang.bsky.social @yufanwang.bsky.social · 06/05/2026We would frame this as homologous specialization between these species but not convergent evolution, given the potential dorsal pathway prototype in their common ancestor. More to come! 001
yufanwang.bsky.social @yufanwang.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Find our new work below! We identified an af homolog in marmosets and its marked similarity with humans in frontal side. Special thanks to the wonderful team that makes this happen!🍻pnas.orgHomologous specialization of arcuate fasciculus ventrolateral frontal connectivity in marmosets and humans | PNASThe arcuate fasciculus (af) is a crucial dorsal pathway underpinning human language, yet its weak frontal connectivity in macaques—the standard pri... 000
yufanwang.bsky.social @yufanwang.bsky.social · 24/04/20251/ Really excited to share our new preprint "Arcuate Fasciculus: Evolutionary Convergence in Marmosets and Humans"! Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...biorxiv.orgArcuate Fasciculus: Evolutionary Convergence in Marmosets and HumansThe marmoset is a highly vocal platyrrhine monkey that shares key anatomical and functional features with humans, providing a unique opportunity to illuminate the phylogenetic origins of diverging con... 101
