, 2014 The discipline of Paleoneurology goes beyond the determination of biological characteristics and morphologies; it can also be used to infer behaviour in extinct species. In Paleocognition, the cognitive capacities of extinct humans can be examined through their fossil remains and the tools they left behind.

Postcranial paleoneurology of the Diapsida
Journal of Zoology, 1995 The 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.

Pachycephalosaur paleoneurology (Archosauria: Ornithischia)
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 1989 ABSTRACT 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.

Recent Advances in Paleoneurology
, 1964 Publisher Summary This chapter illustrates the work being done in paleoneurology recently ascertained in organisms ranging from a crossopterygian fish of some 390 million years ago, Porolepis , to a mammal contemporary Hippopotamus. Paleoneurology cannot agree with the concept, perpetuated in the neontological literature, that increasingly ...

Computed Tools for Paleoneurology
, 2014 The availability of computed tomographic (CT) scans of fossil crania has opened a new chapter in paleoneurology. CT scans have made it possible to create virtual imprints of the braincase—so called endocasts—on the computer, even when the endocranial cavity is filled with stone matrix.

Introduction: Paleoneurology, Resurgent!
, 2014 Much 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 ...

Human paleoneurology: Shaping cortical evolution in fossil hominids
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2019 AbstractEvolutionary neuroanatomy must integrate two different sources of information, namely from fossil and from living species. Fossils supply information concerning the process of evolution, whereas living species supply information on the product of evolution.
