The origin of the axon differs between primates and non-primates in the architecture of neurons, a new study reports.
Researchers reveal that, while the anatomical structures of bird, reptile and mammalian brains differ, all contain certain types of cells linked to cognitive ability.
According to researchers, the primate brain anticipates for all new situations by creating a special kind of neural network that is pre-adapted to face any eventuality.
