The evolution of the central sulcus is theorized to have occurred in mammals when the complete dissociation of the original somatosensory cortex from its mirror duplicate developed in placental mammals such as primates, [1] though the development did not stop there as time progressed the distinction between the two cortices grew.
One of the main methods used to establish a relationship between intelligence and the brain is to use measures of brain volume. [1] The earliest attempts at estimating brain volume were done using measures of external head parameters, such as head circumference as a proxy for brain size. [1]
Brain–body mass relationship for mammals [dubious – discuss]. Brain–body mass ratio, also known as the brain–body weight ratio, is the ratio of brain mass to body mass, which is hypothesized to be a rough estimate of the intelligence of an animal, although fairly inaccurate in many cases.

visual word form area3.jpg. The visual word form area (VWFA) is a functional region of the left fusiform gyrus and surrounding cortex (right-hand side being part of the fusiform face area) that is hypothesized to be involved in identifying words and letters from lower-level shape images, prior to association with phonology or semantics.
