Conclusion
This paper discusses the evolutionary relationship between cognition and
some brain features such as brain size, the density of neurons, and
hormones, which play important roles in different aspects and types of
cognitive abilities in animals. Besides, we also compared and pointed
the effect of different brain structures, which have undergone many
changes and differentiation during the evolution in invertebrates and
vertebrates clades, on altering and consolidating cognitive abilities.
However, we mentioned that the correlation between brain development and
cognition is not always direct. There are some exceptions in some animal
groups and species.
