"...among quantitative brain parameters examined to date, only the cerebrotype provides a measure of architecture that correlates with date of divergence of advanced primates."

In comparison to rodents, "...substantially more total rounds of cell division elapsed during the prolonged neurogenetic period of the monkey cortex, providing a basis for increased cell production."
