Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 6, June 2024.We describe the nearly complete digital endocasts of the brain and bony labyrinth of the neotype specimen of Lithornis vulturinus, a palaeognathous bird from the early Eocene of Europe. Lithornis may provide the clearest insights to date into the neuroanatomy of the ancestral crown bird, combining an ancestrally unflexed brain with a caudally oriented ...

The brain of Homo habilis: Three decades of paleoneurology
Journal of Human Evolution, 2023 In 1987, Phillip Tobias published a comprehensive anatomical analysis of the endocasts attributed to Homo habilis, discussing issues dealing with brain size, sulcal patterns, and vascular traces. He suggested that the neuroanatomy of this species evidenced a clear change toward many cerebral traits associated with our genus, mostly when concerning the ...

Materiality and human cognition [PDF]
, 2019 In this paper, we examine the role of materiality in human cognition. We address issues such as the ways in which brain functions may change in response to interactions with material forms, the attributes of material forms that may cause change in brain ...

Neurobiological origin of spurious brain morphological changes: A quantitative MRI study. [PDF]
, 2016 The high gray-white matter contrast and spatial resolution provided by T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made it a widely used imaging protocol for computational anatomy studies of the brain. While the image intensity in T1-weighted images

Morphological evolution of the hominid brain
Academia BiologyA comparative analysis of the brain surfaces and endocasts of 35 hominid specimens including 24 operational taxonomic units was performed with the aim to search for morphological transformations of the brain surface that occurred over time ...

Morphology and growth of the Massospondylus braincase (Dinosauria Prosauropoda) [PDF]
, 1990 The almost complete disarticulated braincase of a young Massospondylus, and the partial braincase of a very large individual in which the laterosphenoid bones are preserved, are ...

What animals do not do or fail to find: A novel observational approach for studying cognition in the wild [PDF]
, 2019 To understand how our brain evolved and what it is for, we are in urgent need of knowledge about the cognitive skills of a large variety of animal species and individuals, and their relationships to rapidly disappearing social and ecological conditions ...

Neoteny and the Plesiomorphic Condition of the Plesiosaur Basicranium [PDF]
, 2006 The purpose of this paper is to describe the condition of the braincase in stratigraphically early and morphologically primitive plesiosaurs. Information on the braincase of plesiomorphic taxa is important because it establishes the polarity of ...
