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).

How does the sheep's cerebral cortex compare to the human cerebral cortex?

The depth of the fissure creating the cerebral hemisphere in a human brain is larger than that of a sheep. This is due to the fact that the human brain is larger and rounder compared to the elongated brain of the sheep.

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.


Why do you study sheep brains in a human anatomy class?

Although not identical, the sheep brain holds many biological similarities to the human brain, much more so than a bird's or fish's, as both are mammals. Since it is considered much more humane to not use an actual human brain for study, brains from preserved sheep are examined by students to draw the composition of the brain and obtain physical experience.

No not quite a sheep brain is only a bit smaller than a human brain maybe 1 1/2 fists roughly.
