Human CLOCK enhances neocortical function

Regulation of gene expression is a facet of human brain specialization. Here, the authors show that human-like expression of the CLOCK gene in the mouse neocortex enhances cognitive flexibility and neural connectivity, suggesting an evolutionary gain of function that may have contributed to human cognitive specialization.
