Cross-species standardised cortico-subcortical tractography
eLife Assessment This important study provides a novel approach for delineating subcortical-cortical white matter bundles. The authors provide convincing evidence by harnessing state-of-the-art methods and cross-species data. Together, this effort will be of interest to scientists across multiple subfields and accelerate progress in a biologically critical but methodologically challenging area.
Juro & Wordsmith agree strategic partnership to deliver AI automation across the contract lifecycle
Juro & Wordsmith agree strategic partnership to deliver AI automation across the contract lifecycle Juro and Wordsmith announce strategic partnership: the two platforms will integrate via Model Context Protocol (MCP), combining AI agents with end-to-end CLM “AI unlocks unprecedented opportunities for in-house legal, but the key is getting AI adopted.
Juro launches Review Agent to redline & review contracts
Juro launches Review Agent to redline & review contracts Juro has launched Review Agent - an agentic AI product that enables business users to review and redline contracts automatically against custom playbooks. Reviewing a 20-page NDA used to take up to 30 minutes - now the Agent handles it in seconds.

Connectivity Profile and Function of Uniquely Human Cortical Areas
comparative connectivity frontal human uniqueness social temporal cortex Significance Statement Understanding what makes the human brain unique requires direct comparisons with other primates, particularly our closest relatives. Using connectivity blueprints, we compared the cortical organization of the human brain to that of the macaque and, for the first time, the chimpanzee.
What makes the human brain unique? We compared it with monkeys and apes to find out
Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our recent study may have brought us one step closer by taking a new approach—comparing the way brains are internally connected. The Victorian paleontologist Richard Owen incorrectly argued that the human brain was the only brain to contain a small area termed the Hippocampus minor.

Connectivity profile and function of uniquely human cortical areas
Abstract Quantitative comparison of the white matter organization of the human neocortex with that of the chimpanzee and macaque shows a wide distribution of areas with a uniquely human connectivity profile, including the frontal-parietal fiber systems and the temporal visual pathway. Functional decoding of these areas shows their involvement in language, abstract reasoning, and social information processing.
Comparing the limbic-frontal connectome across the primate order: conservation of connections and implications for translational neuroscience
Abstract The interaction of the limbic system and frontal cortex of the primate brain is important in many affective behaviors. For this reason, it is heavily implicated in a number of psychiatric conditions. This system is often studied in the macaque monkey, the most largely-used non human primate model species.
Fermentation technology as a driver of human brain expansion - Communications Biology Original
Abstract Brain tissue is metabolically expensive. Consequently, the evolution of humans’ large brains must have occurred via concomitant shifts in energy expenditure and intake. Proposed mechanisms include dietary shifts such as cooking. Importantly, though, any new food source must have been exploitable by hominids with brains a third the size of modern humans’. Here, we propose the initial metabolic trigger of hominid brain expansion was the consumption of externally fermented foods.

7 ways to advance your (re)insurance career this summer (without missing out on fun the sun)
Once the July renewals are out of the way, the insurance and reinsurance markets tend to have their quietest month. Business never sleeps, of course, but during my broking career, August meant that the usual late nights in the office were typically replaced by the ability to leave work early (i.e. on time, but it feels early!).
Does Gender Leave an Epigenetic Imprint on the Brain?
Sex and Gender Most animals on earth come in two sexes. From a biological perspective, sex is defined by gamete size within a species: animals with large gametes (i.e., eggs) are female and those with small gametes (i.e., sperm) are male (Maynard Smith, 1978). In mammals, eggs are made in ovaries and sperm in testes, so gonad type is often used as a shorthand for defining sex. Intersex gonads (part testis-part ovary) are very rare, so biological sex in mammals is a largely dichotomous variable.
