AbstractThe endocranial cast of Tetonius homunculus, a 55 million year old tarsioid primate, is primitive in having relatively large olfactory bulbs and small frontal lobes, but remarkably advanced for an Early Eocene mammal in its voluminous occipital and temporal lobes.

Parietal lobe variation in cercopithecid endocasts
American Journal of Primatology, 2019AbstractIn extant primates, the posterior parietal cortex is involved in visuospatial integration, attention, and eye‐hand coordination, which are crucial functions for foraging and feeding behaviors. Paleoneurology studies brain evolution through the analysis of endocasts, that is molds of the inner surface of the braincase.

On a new australopithecine partial endocast
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1979AbstractA newly discovered right parietal/temporal/frontal fragment from an australopithecine natural endocast is described and compared to other australopithecine endocasts. This specimen shows that the central sulcus was arched, rather than straight as previously believed, and reveals frontal lobe convolutions not preserved in other australopithecine

The Taung endocast: A reply to Holloway
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1983AbstractIndices of rostrality (ir, ir′) are developed to assess the extent to which the medial end of the lunate sulcus (L) is rostrally positioned in photographs and figures of lateral views of primate brains and endocasts, and indices are determined for chimpanzees, SK 1585 and the Taung endocast.

DiversityPaleoneurological studies of mosasaurids are few and limited to old partial reconstructions made from latex casts on Platecarpus and Clidastes. Here, the brain endocasts of three specimens of the early mosasaurid Tethysaurus nopcsai from the Turonian of ...

Ape‐like endocast of “ape‐man” Taung
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1989AbstractI have identified and illustrated a spherical “dimple” or “depression” on the Taung endocast as indicating the most likely position of the medial end of the lunate sulcus but have not drawn an actual lunate sulcus on Taung because one is not visible. In a recent paper, R.L. Holloway (Am. J. Phys. Anthropol.

The Neanderthal endocast from Gánovce (Poprad, Slovak Republic).
Journal of anthropological sciences = Rivista di antropologia : JASS, 2019A Neanderthal endocast, naturally formed by travertine within the crater of a thermal spring, was found at Gánovce, near Poprad (Slovakia), in 1926, and dated to 105 ka. The endocast is partially covered by fragments of the braincase. The volume of the endocast was estimated to be 1320 cc. The endocast was first studied by the Czech paleoanthropologist

1982
One of the major themes of this volume is to underscore current efforts to synthesize the fields of comparative neurology and paleoneurology. In recent years, primate paleoneurologists have used cortical maps determined by neurophysiologists to interpret fossil endocasts (Falk, 1981; Gurche, this volume; Radinsky, 1972, 1975, 1979).

VirtuaL reconstruction of the taung chiLd’s endocast
2013Dans ce travail, nous proposons une reconstruction numérique de l'endocrâne de l'enfant de Taung (Australopithecus africanus), principalement fondée sur l'utilisation d'outils d'analyse d'images automatisés. Dans un premier temps, les surfaces représentant respectivement l'endocrâne naturel et l'arrière du massif facial (dans laquelle la partie la plus
