Biol. Cybern. 84, 207±215 �2001) Principles underlying mammalian neocortical scaling
The neocortex undergoes a complex transformation from mouse to whale. Whereas synapse density remains the same, neuron density decreases as a function of gray matter volume to the power of around À1=3, total convoluted surface area increases as a function of gray matter volume to the power of around 8/9, and white matter volume disproportionately increases as a function of gray matter volume to...
متن کاملA New Division of the Human Claustrum Basis on the Anatomical Landmarks and Morphological Findings
Purpose: The subdivision of claustrum into parts in some species exists in literature. Those are mainly based on a pattern of its connections with various cortical areas, method of staining, immunoreactivity of its neurons etc. The aim of this study was the division of the human claustrum into different parts, for first time, based on morphology, density, arrangement of claustral neurons as wel...
متن کاملEvaluation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Exposed to Severe Environmental Conditions
Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) consisting of two or more different types of fibers has been widely investigated because of its superior mechanical properties. In the present study, the effect of the addition of steel (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% of concrete volume) and Polypropylene (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% of concrete volume) fibers on the surface scaling resistance of concrete, depth of ...
متن کاملScaling of neuron number and volume of the pulvinar complex in New World primates: comparisons with humans, other primates, and mammals.
The lateral posterior nucleus and pulvinar (LP-pulvinar complex) are the principal thalamic nuclei associated with the elaborate development of the dorsal and ventral streams of the parietal cortex in primates. In humans, a novel site of origin for a subpopulation of pulvinar neurons has been observed, the ganglionic eminence of the telencephalon. This additional site of neuron origin has been ...
متن کاملA new 2D block ordering system for wavelet-based multi-resolution up-scaling
A complete and accurate analysis of the complex spatial structure of heterogeneous hydrocarbon reservoirs requires detailed geological models, i.e. fine resolution models. Due to the high computational cost of simulating such models, single resolution up-scaling techniques are commonly used to reduce the volume of the simulated models at the expense of losing the precision. Several multi-scale ...
متن کاملEvolution and Scaling in Mammalian Brains
Here I look at three stages in the evolutionary development of mammalian brains. Chapter one addresses how connectivity in neocortex scales with brain size. This is of evolutionary interest because it helps define the basic mammalian condition. Neocortical white matter increases disproportionately in large brains. This might reflect increases in the number of connections per neuron. It might al...
