The genetic-evolutionary axes that shape the large-scale organization of the brain.

Caption

A) The axes in humans along which the genetic correlation of cortex thickness is organized B) The axes in macaques along which cortex thickness covaries. Equal colors in A and B show that the main axis in humans corresponds to the second axis in macaques and the second axis in humans corresponds to the first axis in macaques. Regions of the same color have a similar covariance pattern, are genetically more similar than regions of different color.
