“…Limitations of volumetric correlations have been noted (Healy and Rowe, 2007 ; Logan et al, 2018 ). Studies of the structure and number of cells, synapses, and circuits may provide important neuroethological detail (Godfrey and Gronenberg, 2019 ), although comparative studies of individual neurons (Giraldo et al, 2013 ) and synaptic processing capability (Falibene et al, 2015 ; Gordon and Traniello, 2018 ; Gordon et al, 2019 ; Groh and Rössler, 2020 ) vary in degree of linkage with behavior. Volume (or mass) data are indeed required to understand scaling of cellular metrics such as synaptic density (Yilmaz et al, 2016 ) or neuromodulator titer, and can provide insight into sex-specific brain differentiation (Kiesow et al, 2020 ) and regional investment associated with social network size (Noonan et al, 2018 ).…”
