Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Williams and Herrup estimated the human brain has about 85 billion neurons: 12-15 billion in the telencephalon, 70 billion cerebellar granule cells, and fewer than 1 billion in the brainstem.

    “These authors estimated the number of neurons in the human brain at about 85 billion: 12–15 billion in the telencephalon (Shariff, 1953), 70 billion in the cerebellum, as granule cells (based on Lange, 1975), and fewer than 1 billion in the brainstem.”

  • These findings corroborate previous studies showing neuronal density decreases and the glia-to-neuron ratio increases with brain size across mammalian taxa.

    “These findings corroborated previous studies describing neuronal density decreasing and the glia-to-neuron ratio increasing with increasing brain size across mammalian taxa (Tower and Elliot, 1952; Shariff, 1953; Friede, 1954; Tower, 1954; Hawking and Olszewski, 1957; Haug, 1987; Reichenbach, 1989; Stolzenburg et al., 1989).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
