Discuss three similarities between the sheep and human brains. Hint: Think structure. Hint 2: Think function. Hint 3: Think location. Discuss three differences between the sheep and human brains: Hint: Think absolute vs relative size. Hint 2: Think orientation of brainstem (why?). Hint 3: Think cerebral cortex?
