The Emergence of Language in the Hominin Lineage: Perspectives from Fossil Endocasts [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Since brain does not fossilize, brain endocast (i.e., replica of the inner surface of the braincase, Figure Figure1)1) constitutes the only direct evidence for reconstructing hominin brain evolution (Holloway, 1978; Holloway et al., 2004a).

Communications Biology, 2023 Fossil endocasts record features of brains from the past: size, shape, vasculature, and gyrification. These data, alongside experimental and comparative evidence, are needed to resolve questions about brain energetics, cognitive specializations, and ...

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.

On the “cartilaginous rider” in the endocasts of turtle brain cavities [PDF]
Vertebrate Zoology, 2021 In recent years, paleoneurology became a very popular research field and hundreds of brain-endocasts were described. The interpretation of a dorsal protuberance of the brain-endocast puzzled researchers for a long time, the so-called (cartilaginous ...
