Increased brain size in mammals is associated with size variations in gene families with cell signalling, chemotaxis and immune-related functions

Genomic determinants underlying increased encephalization across mammalian lineages are unknown. Whole genome comparisons have revealed large and frequent changes in the size of gene families, and it has been proposed that these variations could play a major role in shaping morphological and physiol...
