Question

What are the differences between the human brain and the chimpanzee's brain. ?

Answer 1

Chimpanzee brain

• The upper part of the central nervous system of chimpanzee, displaying numerous signs of intelligence, from the ability to remember symbols to cooperation, tool use, and perhaps language
• The average adult brain size of the chimpanzee is 384 g
• chimpanzee brain is more symmetrical
• Chimpanzee brain has a comparatively small neocortex
• Chimpanzee brain contains around 28 billion neurons .
• The patterns of gene expression in the chimpanzee brain result in less brain metabolism and less ability to establish new connections .
• Chimpanzee brain is less susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases
• Dopamine production gene is not expressed in the neocortex of the chimpanzee brain
• Chimpanzee brain shows the ability to remember symbols to cooperation and tool use

human brain

• the command center for the human nervous system with the same basic structure as other mammal brains but is larger in relation to body size than any other brains.
• The average adult human brain size is 1,352 g
• the human brain is asymmetrical
• the human brain has a large neocortex
• The human brain contains around 86 billion neurons
• the patterns of gene expression in the human brain lead to the greater levels of neuronal activity and plasticity across much of the lifespan
• human brain is more susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases due to the increased levels of activity.
• dopamine production gene is expressed in higher rates in the neocortex and striatum of the human brain.
• human brain especially shows language abilities and cumulative culture.
