The numbers and proportion of neurons in areas and regions of cortex were determined for
a single cortical hemisphere from two prosimian galagos, one New World owl monkey, one …

Many attempts have been made to correlate degrees of both animal and human intelligence
with brain properties. With respect to mammals, a much-discussed trait concerns absolute …

Comparative studies amongst extant species are one of the pillars of evolutionary
neurobiology. In the 20th century, most comparative studies remained restricted to analyses …

The large size and complex organization of the human brain makes it unique among primate
brains. In particular, the neocortex constitutes about 80% of the brain, and this cortex is …

Previous research has identified morphological differences between the brains of
Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans (AMHs). However, studies using endocasts …

The ability to effectively control brain dynamics holds great promise for the enhancement of
cognitive function in humans and the betterment of their quality of life. Yet, successfully …

The study of human developmental microcephaly is providing important insights into brain
development. It has become clear that developmental microcephalies are associated with …

Several hypotheses propose that cooperative breeding leads to increased cognitive
performance, in both nonhuman and human primates, but systematic evidence for such a …

While larger brains possess concertedly larger cerebral cortices and cerebella, the relative
size of the cerebral cortex increases with brain size, but relative cerebellar size does not. In …

Human evolution has been marked by a striking increase in total brain volume relative to
body size. While a prominent and characteristic feature of this volumetric shift has been the …
