Introduction: Brain weight and cranial capacity are important parameters in the study of racial/
ethnic differences. This study was done to determine the effect of ethnicity on the female’s brain
weight in Northern Iran.
Methods: Brain weight was estimated using linear (Lee–Pearson’s) formula in 410 normal 17–20
year old (207 native Fars and 203 Turkman) females in northern Iran. Dimensions of the head
measured with spreading caliper and auricular head spanner.
Results: The mean±SD of brain weight in native Fars and Turkmen females were 1258.33±130
and 1270.17±124 grams and 1215, respectively.
Conclusion: This study showed that Brain weight in Turkmen’s was higher than native Fars
females.
