Inter-species comparison of surface area during development. (A) Surface area expansion data for ferret and primate species as a function of the number of days post conception. Ferret data (green) are from this study while surface area values in the baboon (dark red—Kroenke et al. 2007; light red—Kochunov et al. 2010) and human (dark blue—Dubois et al. 2008; light blue—Clouchoux et al. 2011) were obtained from previously published studies. (B) The ratio of surface area during development to surface area in the adult as a function of CNS developmental event score.
