Brain Plasticity and Human Evolution (2017, unknown): “…neocortical enlargement in humans has involved expansion in the relative size of certain cortical regions above and beyond predictable allometric patterns (Holloway 1968, Deacon 1997, Semendeferi et al. 2002, Schoenemann et al. 2005, Rilling 2006, Barton & Venditti 2013, Smaers et al. 2017).”
The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, background): “Interestingly, the human prefrontal cortex is larger than that of any other primate, in terms of both absolute size and relative to the size of the rest of the brain (Preuss 2004, Rilling 2006).”
