AbstractRelative brain component sizes have been analyzed in subterranean mole rats of theSpalax ehren‐bergisuperspecies in Israel. Our results indicate that brain size and brain component sizes may have evolved in association with specific stresses underground involving the distinct development of vocalzation, olfaction and tactile sensory communication systems all compensating for the loss of visio
