Cracking Down on Complexity in the Evolving Brain

Publication date: Available online 7 October 2019Source: Trends in Cognitive SciencesAuthor(s): Jessica C. Burkhart, Sarah R. HeilbronnerLouail et al. analyzed the brains of five primate species to determine factors driving size differences. In addition to analyzing the volume of the whole brain, they considered specific brain regions. In doing so, they linked the size of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex with foraging complexity across species.
