  In humans, I think it is large enough:) the ration is like 1/40. So if your brain weigh 1.5 kilo, you are on average 60 kilos. This ratio os different in different animals! Cats, birds are the two examples. Birds have bigger brains conpared to their body mass and cats have smaller brains compared to their body mass. Does this mean birds are smarter than kittens. I am not sure:)
