An agent-based model clarifies the importance of functional and developmental integration in shaping brain evolution
Abstract Background Vertebrate brain structure is characterised not only by relative consistency in scaling between components, but also by many examples of divergence from these general trends.. Alternative hypotheses explain these patterns by emphasising either ‘external’ processes, such as coordi...
