How do the brain structures of bonobos change as they age? How are these structural changes different from human brains?
I was wondering if you could tell me how the brain structures of bonobos change as they age. How are those changes different from human brains?
As bonobos age, their brains undergo structural changes similar to humans. In particular, their prefrontal cortex—the area of the brain responsible for decision-making, social behavior, and personality—grows and becomes more complex. However, there are some notable differences in the brain structures of bonobos and humans. For example, bonobos have a larger amygdala—the area of the brain involved in emotional responses—while humans have a larger anterior cingulate cortex, which helps regulate emotions and attention.
