Genes for Bigger Brains

This article focuses on two genes responsible for causing human brains to be either big or small. These genes according to the author causes a mutation in our brains (Microcephaly-Small brain) or Humans have exceptionally large and complex brains. These two genes are also involved in the continuous function of the human brain according to other researchers. I love this topic because i didn't really know that there's some kind of genes humans have that can affect how big or small brain gets.
