Sentence examples for brain volume would be from inspiring English sources
Without a second separate selective pressure, natural selection favoring increased brain volume would be expected to produce less folded, more lissencephalic brains.
Based on past work in other samples, we hypothesized that adverse structural brain changes (e.g., greater WMH, smaller total and regional brain volume) would be associated with greater sleep disturbances in HF due to their known role in sleep regulation.
Individual-level rescaling was performed in a tissue-specific manner (rather than using total brain volume) for the reason that the relationship between grey and white matter volumes is not linear (Zhang and Sejnowski, 2000), so correction by total brain volume would be less appropriate for our purpose of observing tissue-specific local variations.
We hypothesised that: (a) current brain volume would be associated with current cognitive ability, (b) this association would be attenuated when corrected for maximal (prior) brain volume and (c) the association would be due to the relationship between general cognitive ability and overall brain size, not specific cognitive domains and brain regions.
Although there are contradictory data between animal models in the accumulation of organic osmolytes and brain water, a regulatory brain volume increase would be expected to equalise the hyperosmolarity associated with AKI.
Researchers calculated the brain volume to be 36 cubic centimeters, which is less than half the brain size of modern monkeys.
Thus, a mammalian brain with 100 million neurons would be predicted to consume 0.579 µmol glucose/min, requiring 0.6 kCal/day; a brain with 1 billion neurons would use 5.79 µmol glucose/min, or 6 kCal/day; and a brain with 100 billion neurons would use 579 µmol glucose/min, or 600 kCal/day, regardless of the volume of these brains (Table 4).
In AN, brain volume differences were found in appetitive, somatosensory and top-down control brain regions.
