A sex difference in the human brain and its relation to transsexuality
TLDR
This study is the first to show a female brain structure in genetically male transsexuals and supports the hypothesis that gender identity develops as a result of an interaction between the developing brain and sex hormones.

TLDR
The object of this review is to present current perspectives on primate brain evolution, especially in humans, and to examine some hypothetical organizing principles that underlie the brain's complex organization.

Decreased melatonin levels in postmortem cerebrospinal fluid in relation to aging, Alzheimer's disease, and apolipoprotein E-epsilon4/4 genotype.
TLDR
A dramatic decrease in the CSF melatonin levels was found in old control subjects and even more so inAD patients, and whether supplementation of melatonin may indeed improve behavioral disturbances in AD patients should be investigated.

TLDR
The maximum potential life span of a mammal was found to be proportional to the product of its degree of encephalization and the reciprocal of its metabolic rate per unit weight.

Size and shape of the cerebral cortex in mammals. I. The cortical surface.

TLDR
It appears that the use of a single allometric relation in studying the effect of size increase on the geometry of the brain - irrespective of convolutedness or ecological strategy - is unjustified and obscured the differences in the structural organization of mammalian brains.

Encephalization in mammals in relation to the size of the cerebral cortex.

  • 1982
TLDR
A new index of encephalization has been proposed based on a reanalysis of the brain-body weight relationship in mammals, and an inquiry has been made into the brain structure which can serve as an estimator of body weight.
