Primate Brain Synapse Counts - Comparing Humans & Chimps

Message
[QUOTE="Dr Wu, post: 6034684, member: 546940"] Yes, I did try Google and came upon some deeply technical material on the subject of primate brains, but found nothing (as yet) that answers my simple question. Finally I returned to Wikipedia, which is where I got the above figure for human beings. But here too, as is evident via the link below, the Wiki info concerning synapse distribution in other primates is non-existent. . . although good on cats and fruit flies! I will continue my search online. It just strikes me as faintly odd that information of this kind isn't readily available. Chimps, bonobos, gorillas etc are our nearest cousins, after all. (Perhaps I should try and email the neuroscientist, David Eagleman!) [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_by_number_of_neurons[/URL] [/QUOTE]
