, 2022 The study of the cranial endocast provides valuable information to understand the behavior of an organism since it coordinates sensory information and motor functions. In this work, we describe for the first time the anatomy of the encephalon of an early

From Smart Apes to Human Brain Boxes. A Uniquely Derived Brain Shape in Late Hominins Clade
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Modern humans have larger and more globular brains when compared to other primates. Such anatomical features are further reflected in the possession of a moderately asymmetrical brain with the two hemispheres apparently rotated counterclockwise and slid ...

Automatic extraction of endocranial surfaces from CT images of crania. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The authors present a method for extracting polygon data of endocranial surfaces from CT images of human crania. Based on the fact that the endocast is the largest empty space in the crania, we automate a procedure for endocast extraction by integrating ...

Big Cat Coalitions: A comparative analysis of regional brain volumes in Felidae
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2016 Broad-based species comparisons across mammalian orders suggest a number of factors that might influence the evolution of large brains. However, the relationship between these factors and total and regional brain size remains unclear.

A New Titanosaurian Braincase from the Cretaceous "Lo Hueco" Locality in Spain Sheds Light on Neuroanatomical Evolution within Titanosauria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Despite continuous improvements, our knowledge of the neurocranial anatomy of sauropod dinosaurs as a whole is still poor, which is especially true for titanosaurians even though their postcranial remains are common in many Upper Cretaceous sites ...

The skull anatomy and cranial endocast of the pseudosuchid archosaur Prestosuchus chiniquensis from the Triassic of Brazil [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 Prestosuchus chiniquensis is the most famous “rauisuchian” described by Friedrich von Huene, eight decades ago, and several specimens have been assigned to this taxon since then. In the present contribution, we provide the first detailed description of a

The osteology of the basal archosauromorph Tasmaniosaurus triassicus from the Lower Triassic of Tasmania, Australia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Proterosuchidae are the most taxonomically diverse archosauromorph reptiles sampled in the immediate aftermath of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction and represent the earliest radiation of Archosauriformes (archosaurs and closely related species ...

Endocranial anatomy of the ceratopsid dinosaur Triceratops and interpretations of sensory and motor function [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Triceratops is one of the well-known Cretaceous ceratopsian dinosaurs. The ecology of Triceratops has been controversial because of its unique morphological features. However, arguments based on brain and inner ear structures have been scarce.
