Evaluating Dror et al. it has to be stressed that their result only pertains to seriously deficient levels of vitamin D. Among those reaching the accepted minimum value, higher levels don’t seem to confer additional protection.

Contrary to what Barr et al. claim, their findings are not in opposition but exactly in line with the proposed explanation for brain growth. In contrast to muscle and bone, brain size can not be enhanced during life by training. The adult brain size is already fixed at birth, or more precisely at conception. It is also a very costly organ, not only in term of energy but also nutrients like phosphorus. So whatever the means and reason, nutrition, i.e. meat had to come first, brain growth later. This is probably best explained by Reichholf, list of 2011-12-01.
