The interleukin 3 gene (IL3) contributes to human brain volume variation by regulating proliferation and survival of neural progenitors.

The interleukin 3 gene (IL3) contributes to human brain volume variation by regulating proliferation and survival of neural progenitors.

One of the most significant evolutionary changes underlying the highly developed cognitive abilities of humans is the greatly enlarged brain volume. In addition to being far greater than in most other species, the volume of the human brain exhibits extensive variation and distinct sexual dimorphism...
