What kinds of differences did you see?
- the overall size differences, where some brains are larger than others
- the noticeable structure differences in particular places (for ex. the cerebellum)
- in some brains the cerebral cortex is particularly smooth and in some others there is lots of cortical folding
Why do you think there are these differences? What is the significance of noting differences? Do animals act in different ways due to these differences? Does this account for variability in behavior or intelligence???
Where shall we go from here?
I want to explore the relationship between brain size and body size
I want to look at structural differences between the brains
Huh? Can we start over?
