Effect of temperature and glia in brain size enlargement and origin of allometric body-brain size scaling in vertebrates
BACKGROUND: Brain signaling requires energy. The cost of maintaining and supporting energetically demanding neurons is the key constraint on brain size. The dramatic increase in brain size among mammals and birds cannot be understood without solving this conundrum: larger brains, with more neurons,...
