Amplification of potential thermogenetic mechanisms in cetacean brains compared to artiodactyl brains

Abstract To elucidate factors underlying the evolution of large brains in cetaceans, we examined 16 brains from 14 cetartiodactyl species, with immunohistochemical techniques, for evidence of non-shivering thermogenesis. We show that, in comparison to the 11 artiodactyl brains studied (from 11 speci...
