size of the brain is a frequent topic of study within the fields of anatomy, biological anthropology, animal science and evolution. Measuring brain size...

within species or between fairly closely related species. Brain size usually increases with body size in animals (i.e. large animals usually have larger brains...

that are covered in the human brain article are brain disease and the effects of brain damage. The shape and size of the brain varies greatly between species...

living brain structure and function (using fMRI) made this the pre-dominant and preferred method for measuring brain volume. Overall, larger brain size and...

is a relative brain size measure that is defined as the ratio between observed and predicted brain mass for an animal of a given size, based on nonlinear...

adaptations across other taxonomic classes. Brain to body size scales allometrically. This means as body size changes, so do other physiological, anatomical...

"the human brain shows highly reproducible sex differences in regional brain anatomy above and beyond sex differences in overall brain size" and that these...

body sizes, and that brain size in dinosaurs was not smaller than expected when compared to living reptiles. Later research showed that relative brain size...

found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size. By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results...

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...
