Meaning of "macrencephalous" in English

"Macrencephalous" is a term used in biology and medicine to describe organisms, typically animals or humans, possessing an abnormally large brain or cranial capacity. This characteristic often relates to physiological or genetic conditions that cause the brain size to exceed what is considered typical or average. The term is derived from Greek roots: "macro," meaning large, and "encephalos," meaning brain, providing a literal translation as "large-brained." In some cases, it may imply a variation in brain development that could affect cognitive functions.

Meaning of "macrencephalous" in French

In French, "macrencephalous" similarly refers to an organism with a larger than average brain size. This term is used in scientific contexts, particularly in biology and medicine, to describe an enlarged brain condition. Originating from the same Greek roots, it conveys the same essential idea across both languages—highlighting a deviation in typical brain size, potentially affecting certain cognitive or developmental functions. It is a direct cognate from English, retaining its specialized usage predominantly within scientific communities.
