Different scaling of white matter volume, cortical connectivity, and gyrification across rodent and primate brains

Expansion of the cortical grey matter in evolution has been accompanied by an even faster expansion of the subcortical white matter volume and by folding of the grey matter surface, events traditionally considered to occur homogeneously across mammalian species. Here we investigate how white matter...
