Multimodality, crossmodality, and dyslexia
The relationship between brain weight and head circumference from birth to age 18 years
A relation between head circumference and brain weight of humans is generally believed to exist, but the literature contains only two studies which exhibit a quantitative aspect of the relation, showing that brain weight is proportional to the cube of the head circumference from birth through age 3.5 years. By assembling data from autopsy records, we have been able to show that this cubic relationship holds through brain maturation at around age …
Possible metabolic constraints on human brain weight at birth
Having humans born with adult‐size brains would entail only a small and readily evolved increase in the size of the human female birth canal. The explanation for the present size of the human brain at birth is then plausibly based on the upper limit of brain that can be nourished by present human nutritional strategies. This limit turns out to be about 10% of the body weight of the newborn infant, in agreement with the actual value
