Range 78.82–
95.40 billion neurons. The fractional distribution of neurons in
the human brain does not correspond to the fractional distribution
of mass among brain structures: the cerebellum, which represents only 10% of total
brain mass, contains 69.03±6.65 billion neurons, or 80% of
all neurons in the human brain. See BNID 100690, 103185 |
