Comparative Brain Scaling

Comparative Brain Scaling is a theoretical framework in comparative neurodevelopment that specifies the quantitative relationships governing how brain size and neural architecture scale across species, distinguishing itself by integrating evolutionary, ontogenetic, and allometric principles to explain variations in cognitive capacity and neuroanatomical organization.
