Schematic of the connection between partition scaling and neurogenesis in the evolution of brain proportions suggested by "late equals large".
Spatiotemporal variations of neurogenesis are thought to account for the evolution of brain shape.

Crucially, BSFA is a generative model which estimates the temporal evolution of brain states and transition probabilities between states as a function of time.
These reveal associations between neurogenetic timing and brain partition size12, 25, but also show interspecific developmental variability which was at least initially not predicted by "late equals large"12, 29 and is more consistent with mosaic evolution of brain development14.
Bhullar and his colleagues set out to trace the evolution of brain and skull shape not simply in the dinosaurs closest to birds, but in the entire lineage leading from reptiles to birds.
In the following pages, I detail the evolution of brain death as a biological and philosophical concept and compare this to the parallel ambiguity and controversy that surrounds the beginning of life.
We propose that the evolution of brain size is mediated by a functional trade-off between increased cognitive ability and reproductive performance and discuss the implications of these findings for vertebrate brain evolution.
The diagnosis of SBS was supported by either perpetrator confession, characteristic evolution of brain abnormalities on CT or MRI, inconsistent or absent explanatory history, and/or other social risk factors.
