How Your Brain Works

03/11/2013 14:39
by Craig Freudenrich, Ph.D. and Robynne Boyd The simplest possible creatures have incredibly basic nervous systems made up of nothing but reflex pathways. For example, flatworms and invertebrates don't have centralized brains. They have loose associations of neurons arranged in straightforward...

The adult human brain weighs on average about 3 lb (1.5 kg) with a size of around 1130 cubic centimetres (cm3) in women and 1260 cm3 in men, although there is substantial individual variation. Men's brains are on average 100g heavier than a woman's, even when corrected for body size...

The Evolutionary Layers of the Human Brain

03/11/2013 14:24
The various species of vertebrates are very similar in the way that their brains are organized. For example, all vertebrates have a forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain, within which are found all the major neural systems that have evolved to perform functions common to all species. However, the...
