Human evolved regulatory elements modulate genes involved in cortical expansion and neurodevelopmental disease susceptibility

Different classes of human evolved regulatory elements are located in non-coding regions of the genome. The authors connect the expansion of the cortical surface and connectivity with human evolved elements and show that their target genes are involved in neurodevelopmental disease susceptibility.
