Scientists have measured the brain mass of athletic house mice and found that athleticism may be associated with larger brain size. They found that the volume of the midbrain - a small region of the brain that relays information for the visual, auditory, and motor systems - in the bred-for-athleticism mice was nearly 13 percent larger than the midbrain volume in the control or "regular" mice. "To our knowledge, this is the first example in which ...Monday, 21 January 2013
Link Between Athleticism and Brain Size
