AMPLIFIED SCALING FAILS. “A generic rodent brain of human-sized proportions, weighing 1.5 kg: such a brain would have only 12 billion neurons, and a much larger number of 46 billion non-neuronal cells. This number of neurons is smaller than the number of neurons estimated to exist in the human cerebral cortex alone, and about seven times smaller than the number of neurons predicted for a 1.5-kg brain built with the scaling rules that apply to primates.”
