There are only two animals that have larger brains than man, the whale and the elephant,Yet,according to their bodies' size, man' s brain is much larger.Man' s brain usually weighs about three pounds or a little more,and this is about one-fortieth the weight of his whole body weight....
There are only two animals that have larger brains than man, the whale and the elephant. Yet, in proportion to his size, man's brain is larger. (19[C])Man's usually weighs about three pounds or a little more, and this is about one-fortieth of the weight of his whole body. The ...
A BIGGER BRAIN IS A BETTER BRAIN 大脑越大越聪明 Nope. After all, humans believe we are the smartest animals on the planet, but elephant brains are three times larger than ours. And whale brains? Forget it. 并不是。毕竟,人类相信自己是地球...
the cerebrum has grown over the rest of the brain, forming aconvoluted(wrinkled) layer ofgray matter. The degree of convolution is partly dependent on the size of the body. Small mammals (e.g., lesseranteater,marmoset) generally have smooth brains, and large mammals (e.g.,whale,elephant,...
The degree of convolution is partly dependent on the size of the body. Small mammals (e.g., lesser anteater, marmoset) generally have smooth brains, and large mammals (e.g., whale, elephant, dolphin) generally have highly convoluted ones. Get Unlimited Access Try Britannica Premium for free...
brain size and has been proposed that this occurs because larger brains require thicker, more abundant, and highly myelinated long-range axonal connections between different brain regions to minimize conduction delay, resulting in a disproportionate expansion of white matter cortical. The cranial nerves...
‘Brain’ explores the centrality of the brain in late nineteenth-century asylum practice: it considers contemporary theories about the organ’s connections to the body, and how asylum doctors studied the brain in their search for physical evidence of...
In terms of sheer size, sperm whales and elephants take the top spots for weight at 18 and 11 pounds, respectively.1But since even small elephants weigh 6,000 pounds or more, their brains are just 0.2% of their body weight. For the sperm whale, the brain is only about 0.06% of body...
