The Search for True Numbers of Neurons and Glial Cells in the Human Brain: A Review of 150 Years of Cell Counting
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5063692/
Cerebellum which accounts for only about 10% of the brain's volume, contains an estimated 50 to 70 billion neurons while cerebral cortex comprising about 80-85% of the brain's total volume is estimated to contain between 10 to 20 billion neurons!
