Region-specific changes in Mus musculus brain size and cell composition under chronic nutrient restriction
(Company of Biologists, 2019-09)
Nutrition is one of the most influential environmental factors affecting the development of different tissues and organs. It is suggested that under nutrient restriction the growth of the brain is spared as a result of the ...
Human Brain Expansion during Evolution Is Independent of Fire Control and Cooking
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBrasilUFRN, 2016)
What makes humans unique? This question has fascinated scientists and philosophers
for centuries and it is still a matter of intense debate. Nowadays, human brain

Evolution of brain size in class-based societies of fungus-growing ants (Attini)
A social lifestyle is often assumed to be more complex than a solitary one, due to social demands that may require increased cognitive capabilities. These nested assumptions underlie hypotheses to explain a correlation ...
Brain allometry and neural plasticity in the bumblebee Bombus occidentalis
Brain plasticity is a common phenomenon across animals and in many cases it is associated with behavioral transitions. In social insects, such as bees, wasps and ants, plasticity in a particular brain compartment involved ...
p53 is required for brain growth but is dispensable for resistance to nutrient restriction during Drosophila larval development
(Public Library Science, 2018)
Background
Animal growth is influenced by the genetic background and the environmental circumstances. How genes promote growth and coordinate adaptation to nutrient availability is still an open question. p53 is a ...
