The brain on mammals & primates


 THE BRAIN ON MAMMALS:
On mammals there is really big difference in the brain in terms of size.

However the size is not just the only difference there are also some differences in the shape of the brains. The hindbrain and the midbrain is almost always very similar to those of the vertebrates. One of the things that mostly strongly distinguish mammals is the cerebral cortex that is a neural tissue that is the outer most to the cerebrum in the mammals brains, in non mammalian there is a really big difference the brain is more enlarged and the shape of the brain in this animals is more different .

THE BRAIN ON PRIMATES:

 The brains of humans and other primates contain the same structures as the others mammals, but always are generally larger. The human average is bigger than the primates.
The enlarged of the brain in primates it comes form a really big expansion of the cerebral cortex but specially the prefrontal cortex and some parts of the cortex that are involved in vision. The prefrontal cortex it carries really important functions almost vital for humans as motivation, attention, executive control, planning, and working memory.
