 tructures of the mammalian brain\, yet also one of the most varied in terms
  of both size and organization. Multiple processes have contributed to this
  variability including evolutionary mechanisms (i.e.\, changes in gene sequ
 ence) that alter the size\, organization and connections of the neocortex\,
  and activity dependent mechanisms that can also modify these same features
  over shorter time scales.</p><p>Because the neocortex does not develop or 
 evolve in a vacuum\, when considering how different cortical phenotypes eme
 rge within a species and across species\, it is also important to consider 
 alterations to the body\, to behavior\, and the environment in which an ind
 ividual develops. Thus\, changes to the neocortex can arise via different m
 echanisms\, and over multiple time scales. Brains can change across large\,
  evolutionary time scales of thousands to millions of years\; across shorte
 r time scales such as generations\; and across the life of an individual – 
 day-by-day\, within hours\, minutes and even on a time scale of a second.</
 p><p>The combination of genetic and activity dependent mechanisms that crea
 te a given cortical phenotype allows the mammalian neocortex to rapidly and
  flexibly adjust to different body and environmental contexts\, and in huma
 ns permits culture to impact brain construction during development.</p><p>
