Mira obtained her B.S. in Biology at Utrecht University in The Netherlands. She began her Ph.D. in the Human Evolutionary Biology department in 2021. Mira is broadly interested in knowing what makes human brains different from other animals. Specifically...
I'm interested in how brains evolve. Our lab uses canines to study breed-specific behaviors. We also use existing non-human primate data to investigate neuroanatomical differences that might contribute to cognitive/behavioral differences between species.
My lab’s research asks how brains change in response to selection pressure on behavior, and how brains acquire heritable adaptations for complex, learned behaviors. Comparisons between modern humans and our living primate relatives provide a way to...
