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).
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.

Yes, there are limitations to using sheep brains as a model for human brains. While sheep brains share some anatomical and physiological similarities with human brains, significant differences exist in complexity, size, and specific functions, particularly in areas like the cerebral cortex. Additionally, sheep brains may not accurately replicate human neurological diseases or responses to treatments, limiting their applicability in research aimed at understanding human conditions. These differences can affect the generalizability of findings from sheep studies to human health and disease.
A sheep brain appears more straight and elongated compared to a human brain primarily due to differences in evolution and function. Sheep, as prey animals, have brains optimized for sensory processing and reflexes, which are essential for survival in open environments. In contrast, the human brain has evolved to support advanced cognitive functions, such as problem-solving and social interaction, leading to a more complex and folded structure. This folding increases surface area and allows for a greater density of neurons, enhancing our cognitive capabilities.
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.
When you compare human and sheep brain you observe some profound differences between them. This is because they are differently evolved.
The human cerebellum and the sheep cerebellum are very similar. The brain system is conserved across all mammal and animal species.
There are quite a few differences between sheep cerebellum and human cerebellum. The most noticeable difference is the size of each.
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.

The gyri is a large octopus tentacle that sneezes when the lollipops are attached to the opposite side of the triangular surface of a pancake and the sulci is a turkey times the number of y chromosomes in a head of lettuce.
