Equal numbers of neuronal and nonneuronal cells make the human brain an isometrically scaled‐up primate brain
Frederico A. C. Azevedo,Ludmila R.B. Carvalho,Lea T. Grinberg,José Marcelo Farfel,Renata E.L. Ferretti,Renata Elaine Paraizo Leite,Wilson Jacob Filho,Roberto Lent,Suzana Herculano-Houzel +8 more
TL;DR: The findings challenge the common view that humans stand out from other primates in their brain composition and indicate that, with regard to numbers of neuronal and nonneuronal cells, the human brain is an isometrically scaled‐up primate brain.

TL;DR: It is concluded that neuronal loss is associated with dementia and not the presence of plaques and tangles, which may explain why subjects with histopathological features of Alzheimer's disease can be asymptomatic; and exclude amyloid-β deposits as causes for the reduction of neuronal numbers in the brain.
