چکیده
Mota and Herculano-Houzel (Reports, 3 July 2015, p. 74) assign power functions to neuroanatomical data and present a model to account for evolutionary patterns of cortical folding in the mammalian brain. We detail how the model assumptions are in conflict with experimental and observational work and show that the model itself does not accurately fit the data.

Response to Comments on "Cortical folding scales universally with surface area and thickness, not number of neurons".
De Lussanet claims that our model that accounts for the degree of folding of the cerebral cortex based on the product of cortical surface area and the square root of cortical thickness is better reduced to the product of gray-matter proportion and folding index. Lewitus et al., in turn, claim that the assumptions of our model are in conflict with experimental data; that the model does not accur...
متن کاملConnectivity-driven white matter scaling and folding in primate cerebral cortex.
Larger brains have an increasingly folded cerebral cortex whose white matter scales up faster than the gray matter. Here we analyze the cellular composition of the subcortical white matter in 11 primate species, including humans, and one Scandentia, and show that the mass of the white matter scales linearly across species with its number of nonneuronal cells, which is expected to be proportiona...
متن کاملP29: Changes in Thickness and Intelligence
Neuroimaging research indicates that human intellectual ability is associated to brain structure including the thickness of the cerebral cortex. Most studies show that general intelligence is positively associated with cortical thickness in areas of association cortex allocated throughout both brain hemispheres. Changes in cortical thickness over time have been related to intelligence, but whet...
متن کاملHow the Cortex Gets Its Folds: An Inside-Out, Connectivity-Driven Model for the Scaling of Mammalian Cortical Folding
Larger mammalian cerebral cortices tend to have increasingly folded surfaces, often considered to result from the lateral expansion of the gray matter (GM), which, in a volume constrained by the cranium, causes mechanical compression that is relieved by inward folding of the white matter (WM), or to result from differential expansion of cortical layers. Across species, thinner cortices, presuma...
متن کاملبررسی تا‌خوردگی فرش دست‌باف تحت فشار استاتیکی
To study the way of folding handmade carpets, the selected sample has been put under pressure of 50g/cm2 weight at three different states. The pressure has increased uniformly and continuously at 100,200, 500, 1000 and 1500 g/cm2. The thickness of the carpet has been recorded continuously during the measurement of the thickness of the carpet sample. The pressing parameters of the carpet have be...
