The paper analyzes neuronal composition across brain structures in amniotes to show that neuronal proportions, not absolute size, define brain evolution in mammals, birds, and reptiles.

The paper examines the relationship between hippocampal neuron numbers and home range across mammals, finding no universal scaling and suggesting population density, not spatial demands, drives home range size.

This study conducts a meta-analysis of GABAergic interneuron deficits in schizophrenia, finding reductions in parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons, particularly in layers 3/4, and links these deficits to bottom-up processing impairments.

This paper shows that cerebellar folding follows a universal scaling law across species, despite clade-specific patterns, and relates this to physical principles of self-organization.

The paper estimates the number of telencephalic neurons in theropod dinosaurs using neuronal scaling rules from extant sauropsids, finding they had primate-like neuron counts.

The paper examines capillary density in the mouse brain and finds it is mostly homogeneous, with energy supply per neuron decreasing as neuronal density increases.

The paper examines evolutionary conservation of neuron-specific coding and regulatory sequences across species and finds they are highly conserved despite neuronal diversity in cell size.

The paper identifies thermogenetic features in cetacean brains that may relate to their aquatic lifestyle and brain evolution.

The paper investigates whether neuronal number correlates with behavioral performance in mice and finds no strong correlation within a species.
