TL;DR: It is proposed that the faster increase in average neuronal size in the cerebral cortex than in the cerebellum as these structures gain neurons and the rapidly increasing glial numbers that generate glial mass to match total neuronal mass at a fixed glia/neuron total mass ratio are fundamental cellular constraints that lead to the relative expansion of cerebral cortical volume across species.

TL;DR: It is shown that the degree of cortical folding scales uniformly across lissencephalic and gyrencephalic species, across individuals, and within individual cortices as a function of the product of cortical surface area and the square root of cortical thickness.

TL;DR: A white matter-based mechanism to account for increased cortical folding across species is offered, which is proposed to be driven by connectivity-related tension in the white matter, pulling down on the gray matter.

TL;DR: While the neuronal rules that govern gray and white matter scaling are different across rodents and primates, it is found that they can be explained by the same unifying model, with order-specific exponents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the polarization color diagram (PCD) is used to track the dynamical phases of a Be star, such as disk build-up, dissipation, periodic, and episodic outbursts.
