Re-evaluating circuit mechanisms underlying pattern separation (2019, neutral): “, 1967), a level of connectivity that has been evolutionarily conserved in the cerebellum since the appearance of fish (Wittenberg and Wang, 2007).”
Network Structure within the Cerebellar Input Layer Enables Lossless Sparse Encoding (2014, background): “Remarkably, the morphology of cerebellar GCs is conserved across a wide range of species including fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals (Llinás, 1969; Wittenberg and Wang, 2007), demonstrating that it has been evolutionarily conserved.”
Grade Changes in Brain–Body Allometry: Morphological and Behavioural Correlates of Brain Size in Miniature Spiders, Insects and Other Invertebrates (2011, background): “They may also perform less thorough or precise analyses of sensory inputs, due to lower numbers of inter-neurons, fewer dendrites, or fewer or more noisy connections between them (Chittka and Niven, 2009; Faisal et al., 2005; Wittenberg and Wang, 2007).”
