Comparative Brain Anatomy Frog and Dog

These 2 models are viewed from a similar direction and components have similar colour codings (the comparative sizes are not to scale).

Note:

  1. Both brains have a large region devoted to smell (olfactory bulb).
  2. The dog brain (mammalian) has, compared to other brain components, a larger telencephalon (cortex) and cerebellum than the frog brain (amphibian).
  3. Mammalian (dog) telencephalon (cortex) has grown over the the midbrain, visible in the amphibian (frog).
