…Cells seem to be mostly indistinguishable (except for )04 I thought? Size is different on average, but males with small brains are still male. Variation of all traits is higher for males, so there are more high IQ men (wider bell-curve). Given average brain size difference, the s...

more similar to each other than any one is to a human brain. What changed since we split off from our ape cousins is both the overall geometry of the brain in terms of the relative size of different components, as well as the connections both within and between these components....

At birth, newborns preferentially listen to their native language over a non-native language. Soon thereafter, infants prefer to listen to their native dialect over a non-native dialect, and look longer at their own race than another race. This shows that they can discriminate be...

… any mouth movements. Mirror neurons demonstrate that observed action can produce a resonant response in an observer’s brain. Seeing a talker’s mouth move creates a motor- resonant response that aids in understanding speech sounds. However, these two observations are very differ...
