Discovered the gene that makes the human brain so big

OUR is approximately three times larger than that of our closest relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas. It typically reaches around 1,500 cm³ in adulthood, compared to 500 cm³ of gorillas and to 400 cm³ of the chimpanzees. Why? A group of researchers from the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Cambridge, tried to identify the mechanism that would explain this difference in size and – as stated in the study published in the journal Cell
