Functional craniology and brain evolution: from paleontology to biomedicine [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 Anatomical systems are organized through a network of structural and functional relationships among their elements. This network of relationships is the result of evolution, it represents the actual target of selection, and it generates the set of rules ...

An additional brain endocast of the ictidosaur Riograndia guaibensis (Eucynodontia: Probainognathia): intraspecific variation of endocranial traits [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Recently, the morphology and encephalization of the brain endocast of the Triassic non-mammaliaform probainognathian cynodont Riograndia guaibensis were studied. Here, we analyzed the brain endocast of an additional specimen of this species.

Re-description of the braincase of the rebbachisaurid sauropod Limaysaurus tessonei and novel endocranial information based on CT scans [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 CT scans of the type braincase of Limaysaurus tessonei (MUCPv-205) allowed the first study of the endocranial cavities (brain and inner ear) for this South American taxon. Comparisons of the cranial endocast of L.
