Postcranial paleoneurology of the Diapsida
Journal of Zoology, 1995The relationships between the size of the spinal cord and the size of the neural canal, and between gross spinal cord anatomy and locomotor style, were documented in a wide range of living diapsids. Observed relationships were used to make predictions about spinal cord anatomy and about limb use and position in related fossil taxa.

Big Birds and Their Brains: Paleoneurology of the New Zealand Moa
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2007The moa (Dinornithiformes: Aves) are an extinct group of ratites from the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The ancestors of both the moa and the kiwi were isolated from other Gondwanan fauna as much as 80 million years ago and evolved in the absence of large mammalian predators.

Human Paleoneurology and the Evolution of the Parietal Cortex
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2018Paleoneurology deals with the study of brain anatomy in fossil species, as inferred from the morphology of their endocranial features. When compared with other living and extinct hominids, <i>Homo sapiens</i> is characterized by larger parietal bones and, according to the paleoneurological evidence, also by larger parietal lobes. The dorsal

The gospel of the fossil brain: Tilly Edinger and the science of paleoneurology
Brain Research Bulletin, 1999Tilly Edinger (1897-1967) was a vertebrate paleontologist interested in the evolution of the central nervous system. By combining methods and insights gained from comparative neuroanatomy and paleontology, she almost single-handedly founded modern paleoneurology in the 1920s while working at the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt am Main.

Issues in neo- and paleoneurology of language
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995AbstractWilkins and Wakefield's hypothesis that language is fundamentally a cognitive rather than cominunicational adaptation is reasonable, but there are flaws in their anatomical and fossil evidence. Their analysis of reorganization also needs clarification. Finally, the origin of language ability must have occurred with australopithecine rather than

Paleoneurology of early archosauriforms and pseudosuchians
2022Paleoneurology is a branch of paleontology that is dedicated to the study of the anatomy and evolution of the nervous system of extinct animals. You are reading the introduction to this book about paleoneurology because you are a descendent of a long line of primate ancestors that had evolved progressively larger brains, and that were eventually able ...

Introduction: Paleoneurology, Resurgent!
2014Much has happened in the study of paleoneurology since the turn of the 20th Century involving increasing sophistication of digital methods which permit a variety of statistical and imaging techniques that are replacing the older methods of studying endocasts, which have relied upon plaster/latex rubber copies of fossil materials and mostly qualitative ...

Pachycephalosaur paleoneurology (Archosauria: Ornithischia)
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 1989ABSTRACT Pachycephalosaur endocranial casts display a distinctive suite of traits that include large divergent olfactory bulbs, large olfactory nerves, short thick olfactory tracts, a moderately expanded cerebrum not separated from optic lobes and cerebellum dorsally, steep cranial flexure, and reduced pontine flexure.
