How does the human mammillary body look different from the sheep?

The human mammillary body is typically larger and more rounded compared to that of a sheep, reflecting differences in brain size and complexity. In humans, the mammillary bodies are more prominent and have a more developed structure due to their involvement in higher cognitive functions like memory. In contrast, the sheep's mammillary bodies are smaller and less distinct, aligning with their simpler behavioral and cognitive needs. Additionally, the orientation and connection with surrounding brain structures can vary between species.
