Abstract：
The evolution of the brain in mammals is characterized by changes in size, architecture, and internal organization. Consequently, the geometry of the brain, and especially the size and shape of the cerebral cortex, has changed notably during evolution. Comparative studies of the cerebral cortex suggest that there are general architectural principles governing its growth and evolutionary development. In this chapter, some of the design principles and operational modes that underlie the fractal geometry and information processing capacity of the cerebral cortex in primates, including humans, will be explored. It is shown that the development of the cortex coordinates folding with connectivity in a way that produces smaller and faster brains.
摘要：
哺乳动物大脑的进化特征是大小的变化，architecture,内部组织。因此,大脑的几何形状，尤其是大脑皮层的大小和形状，在进化过程中发生了显著的变化。对大脑皮层的比较研究表明，存在支配其生长和进化发展的一般建筑原理。在这一章中,灵长类动物大脑皮层分形几何和信息处理能力的一些设计原则和操作模式，包括人类,将被探索。结果表明，皮质的发育以产生更小，更快的大脑的方式协调折叠与连接性。
