differences between men and women

womens brain is in average 150 gramms lighter. isnt that worth to know in english wikipedia? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.99.117 (talk) 23:06, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Number of neurons

With this edit I contest the source to the statement on number of neurons in the lead section. Seems like the source has been added after the text, with no correction to the stated numbers.

But aren't there newer sources to access and use? For example, this one:

The search for true numbers of neurons and glial cells in the human brain: A review of 150 years of cell counting. (2016 Dec) PMID 27187682

If you would like to change the figure to 10-20 billion neurons and use that article as source, I would have no problem at all with that. Looie496 (talk) 01:17, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
