Abstract

“Intelligent activity may reasonably be regarded as the key note of mammalian progress” (Romer 1962). This progress became possible with the acquisition of a neocortex, with its great analytic, associative and synthetic potential. Other mammalian characteristics, such as improvements in the circulation and in temperature regulation and, in most mammals, the long gestation period, giving birth to live young, and the development of nursing, with concomitant care and training of the young (Romer 1962), are conditional for the development, imprinting and functioning of a complicated brain. The main characteristics of the mammalian brain all are dependent on the presence of a neocortex.
