DESCRIPTION:Brain size varies by over 100\,000 times - and that's across m
 ammals alone. How does diversity in brain size come about in evolution? Ar
 e there any regularities across species\, that is\, characteristics that a
 re shared by all mammalian brains\, whatever their size or the species to 
 which they belong? Conversely\, are there characteristics that are particu
 lar to some mammalian groups\, but not others? What are the rules that gov
 ern how brains are built?\n\nAt the Laboratory of Comparative Neuroanatomy
  we use quantitative morphological approaches to investigate the diversity
  of the nervous system across animals\, its evolution and developmental or
 igins.
