the human brain shows that the brain of a human is about more than four times the size of great apes and 20 times larger than the brain size of old world...

percentage of gray matter appears to be more related to brain size than it is to sex. Differences in brain physiology between sexes do not necessarily relate...

brain size. Since most of the brain is used for maintaining bodily functions, greater ratios of brain to body mass may increase the amount of brain mass...

The ten percent of the brain myth or 90% of the brain myth states that humans generally use only one-tenth (or some other small fraction) of their brains...

causal relationship between brain size and intelligence in vertebrates. Most experiments involving the relevance of brain size to intelligence hinge on the...

The hindbrain connects the rest of the brain to the spinal cord. The size and structure of the avian brain enables prominent behaviours of birds such...

ago, the hominin brain began to develop rapidly in both size and differentiation of function. There has been a gradual increase in brain volume as humans...
