When larger brains do not have more neurons: increased numbers of cells are compensated by decreased average cell size across mouse individuals

There is a strong trend toward increased brain size in mammalian evolution, with larger brains composed of more and larger neurons than smaller brains across species within each mammalian order. Does the evolution of increased numbers of brain neurons, and thus larger brain size, occur simply throug...
