Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

Ornithopods are a clade of dinosaurs generally accepted to include non-iguanodontian ornithopods, non-hadrosaurid iguanodontians, and hadrosaurids. While acknowledging the phylogenetic placement of traditional non-iguanodontian ornithopods, or ‘basal ...

What do brain endocasts tell us? A comparative analysis of the accuracy of sulcal identification by experts and perspectives in palaeoanthropology [PDF]
Palaeoneurology is a complex field as the object of study, the brain, does not fossilize. Studies rely therefore on the (brain) endocranial cast (often named endocast), the only available and reliable proxy for brain shape, size and details of surface ...

Madness in Ancient Greek Tragedy: A Retrospective Medical Analysis of Heracles and Medea
Madness in ancient Greek tragedy emerges as both narrative device and anthropological marker. Figures like Heracles and Medea embody extreme forms of psychic disintegration, which, when reread through the lens of palaeomedicine and palaeoneurology ...

The origin and evolution of the mammalian brain has long been the focus of scientific enquiry. Conversely, little research has focused on the palaeoneurology of the stem group of Mammaliaformes, the Permian and Triassic non-mammaliaform Therapsida (NMT).
