Positive associations between human intelligence and brain size have been suspected for
more than 150 years. Nowadays, modern non-invasive measures of in vivo brain volume …

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 …

Cognition presents evolutionary research with one of its greatest challenges. Cognitive
evolution has been explained at the proximate level by shifts in absolute and relative brain …

Evolution provides an important window into how cortical organization shapes function and
vice versa. The complex mosaic of changes in brain morphology and functional organization …

Phenotypic integration is a pervasive characteristic of organisms. Numerous analyses have
demonstrated that patterns of phenotypic integration are conserved across large clades, but …

The study of hominin brain evolution has focused largely on the neocortical expansion and
reorganization undergone by humans as inferred from the endocranial fossil record …

One of the enduring questions that has driven neuroscientific enquiry in the last century has
been the nature of differences in the prefrontal cortex of humans versus other animals [1] …

Enough species have now been subject to systematic quantitative analysis of the
relationship between the morphology and cellular composition of their brain that patterns …

Comparative neuroscience is entering the era of big data. New high-throughput methods
and data-sharing initiatives have resulted in the availability of large, digital data sets …

The layout of areas in the cerebral cortex of different primates is quite similar, despite
significant variations in brain size. However, it is clear that larger brains are not simply …
