- You can’t characterize a species’s brain functionality based on the presence, absence, or magnitude of specific macro-sized brain structures, because brain function (including intelligence!) evolves in unique ways in different species.
- Our new paper is out. We point out that large brained (and often smart) mammals and birds have evolved very different distribution of neurons numbers in the brain. This means that similar cognitive abilities have evolved in very different brains. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
