Endocranial Morphology of the Primitive Nodosaurid Dinosaur Pawpawsaurus campbelli from the Early Cretaceous of North America.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundAnkylosaurs are one of the least explored clades of dinosaurs regarding endocranial anatomy, with few available descriptions of braincase anatomy and even less information on brain and inner ear morphologies.

The fossil record of primate intelligence: From the earliest primates to human origins

open access: yesMètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review
Animals collect and process the information they need to survive and reproduce. The means by which they process information is through the capacity of intelligence, which is in turn a function of the brain, its morphology, size, organization, and ...

How smart was T. rex? Testing claims of exceptional cognition in dinosaurs and the application of neuron count estimates in palaeontological research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3685-3716, December 2024.
Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

NEUROANATOMY OF THE TITANOSAUR SAUROPOD NARAMBUENATITAN PALOMOI FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS OF PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2020
Narambuenatitan palomoi is a titanosaurian sauropod from the Upper Cretaceous of North Patagonia. Considered initially as a basal titanosaur, this taxon has uncertain phylogenetic relationships within the clade.

The DNH 7 endocast of Paranthropus robustus from Drimolen, South Africa: Reconsidering the functional significance of an enlarged occipital‐marginal (O/M) sinus system in robust australopithecines

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 185, Issue 2, October 2024.
Abstract This paper presents a detailed analysis of the endocast of one of the most complete Paranthropus robustus crania known, DNH 7, from the Drimolen site (South Africa), and compares it with the morphology of other australopithecine endocasts. We focus on endocranial volume, the impressions of cortical sulci, cranial sutures, and the pattern of ...

3D density maps: A powerful tool for studying sulcal imprint variation on extant human endocasts

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceKey questions in paleoneurology concern the timing and emergence of derived cerebral features of modern humans. Endocasts (i.e., a replica of the internal table of the bony brain case) constitute a proxy for reconstructing a ...

A Look in to the Neurocranium of Living and Extinct Lepidosauria

open access: yes, 2022
Braincase descriptions of lepidosaurian clades (Rhynchocephalia and Squamata) are scarce, and paleoneurological studies are even scarcer when compared to other reptiles.
