What is the significance of the fact that the olfactory bulbs are larger in sheep brain than in human brain?
Sheep are more reliant on their sense of smell vs humans who rely more on sights and sounds. It's a ''survival type of thing" for the reason why sheep's olfactory bulbs are larger. Hope I helped!! :)
Why the olfactory bulb so big in sheep?
The olfactory bulb in sheep are A LOT bigger in sheep than in humans because evolutionarily, sheep rely much more on their sense of smell to survive than humans do. Think about it, sheep must use all of their senses, most importantly smell, to find food to survive.... humans, on the other hand, have evolved along with the custom of attaining their means for survival in less instinctual ways (ex. going to the corner store).
Does a sheep brain have a pituitary?
yes they have everything a human brain does its just smaller except for the olfactory recepters(sense of smell part of the brain). wiki on! :)
How much does a sheep brain weigh?
the average dog has at least one billion if humans have 3 trillion

Olfactory bulb sheep brain vs human brain?
olfactory bulbs larger in sheep like the rat we dissected as well because of the need for heightened sense of smell for food, predators etc. these defense and survival mechanisms are more needed in sheep than humans.
What brain is similar to a sheeps brain?
Human Brains are similair in structure to a sheeps brain, sheep have larger olfactory bulbs though, sheeps brains are also not a large as humans.
Sheep brain compared to human brain?
A human brain is larger overall, sheep brains have larger olfactory bulbs though, they also have an area on the sides, around where the temporal lobe is where their eyes go, this causes an indentation humans don't have.

What are the differences between human brain and sheep brain?
The human brain is larger. The positioning of the hind brain is different, due to the erect position of humans. Convolutions are increased in humans (increases surface area). The sheep's brain has a smaller cerebellum (lesser motor control/less complex learned motor behaviors). There is a larger pineal gland in sheep (related to circadian rhythms/seasonal reproduction).

Is sheep brainstem bigger or smaller then a human brainstem?
it is smaller sheep are very dump animals
Why are humans smarter then sheep?
It is not actually a proven fact that humans are smarter than sheep. Humans just know more about being a complex life form.
