Avian palaeoneurology: Reflections on the eve of its 200th anniversary [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2020 AbstractIn birds, the brain (especially the telencephalon) is remarkably developed, both in relative volume and complexity. Unlike in most early‐branching sauropsids, the adults of birds and other archosaurs have a well‐ossified neurocranium. In contrast to the situation in most of their reptilian relatives but similar to what can be seen in mammals ...

Palaeoneurology and the Emergence of Language [PDF]
Bulletins Et Memoires De La Societe D'Anthropologie De Paris, 2020 The origin of language has been much debated over the years. Recent research has centred the controversies on two main ideas. Language, as defined by the Basic Property formulated by Chomsky, is a characteristic unique to Homo sapiens that developed in our species in the past 300,000 years.

Abstract We propose for the first time a direct comparison between brain and endocast characteristics—the number, position, length and proportion of sulci as revealed by the evidence on the brain and their corresponding marks on the endocast that is the internal surface of the skull—in the same living individuals. Using a tailored MRI

Palaeoneurology of language: Grounds for scepticism
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995AbstractWilkins & Wakefield's identification of anatomical features in the Koobi Fora endocast, which may be thought to carry some functional significance in relation to organization for language, raises fundamental problems of method: attention is drawn to some limitations of the evidence, of endocasts and of the neuroanatomical map used to ...

Abstract The notoungulate genus Puelia has a complex taxonomic history marked by uncertain familial placement and misidentified specimens. Examination of the holotype of Puelia plicata and unpublished upper and lower tooth material ...

Abstract This study examines the brain morphology of Pliocene specimens of the South American Echimyidae rodent Eumysops chapalmalensis through virtual endocasts and comparisons with extant members of the family. Shape variation is analysed through geometric morphometrics, and the relative sizes of the brain and its components are ...

Abstract Xenarthrans are among the more iconic endemic groups of South American mammals. We present new specimens, including a nearly complete skull and two partial skeletons, of the giant mylodontid sloth Ocnotherium giganteum, a large quadrupedal herbivorous sloth from the Late Pleistocene of the intertropical region of Brazil.
