She has a TED talk on what makes the human brain special (if anything)\, and recently published a trade book\, The Human Advantage\, telling the back story to her research on human and elephant brains – and how cooking allowed us into existence. \nShe is also the author of a biweekly column on the neuroscience of everyday life for Folha de São Paulo\, the major newspaper in Brazil. Going on to its 11th year\, the column has featured over 270 appearances since 2006. Suzana is also the author of six other books (in Portuguese) on the neuroscience of everyday life\, including Our Daily Brain\, Sex\, Drugs\, Rock’n’Roll… and Chocolate\, Why is Yawning Catching? and Drops of Neuroscience for a Better Life. \nShe lives in Nashville\, TN\, with her husband\, son and two dogs. \n\nSelected publications\n– Mota B and Herculano-Houzel S (2015) Cortical folding scales universally with cortical surface area and thickness\, not number of neurons. Science 349\, 74-77.  \n– Herculano-Houzel S (2015) Decreasing sleep requirement with increasing numbers of neurons as a driver for bigger brains and bodies in mammalian evolution. Proc Royal Soc B 282\, 20151853.  \n–  Herculano-Houzel S\, Catania K\, Manger PR\, Kaas JH (2015) Mammalian brains are made of these: A dataset on the numbers and densities of neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the brain of glires\, primates\, scandentia\, eulipotyphlans\, afrotherians and artiodactyls\, and their relationship with body mass. Brain Behav Evol\, in press \n\n\n\n		\n	\n\n
