Paleoneurobiology is the study of brain evolution by analysis of brain endocasts to determine endocranial traits and volumes. Considered a subdivision of neuroscience, paleoneurobiology combines techniques from other fields of study including paleontology and archaeology. It reveals specific insight concerning human evolution.
The neocortex area of the brain, responsible for sensory perception and other sensory brain functions, covers 28% of the medium-sized A. commune endocast's surface area. [64] Another endocast, which belongs to Anoplotherium sp., measures 7,173.92 mm (282.438 in) 2 in the cerebrum surface, 4,419.56 mm (173.998 in) 2 in neopallium surface, and ...
An endocast is the internal cast of a hollow object, often referring to the cranial vault in the study of brain development in humans and other organisms. [1] Endocasts can be artificially made for examining the properties of a hollow, inaccessible space, or they may occur naturally through fossilization .
Analyzing variability in the location of gross anatomical landmarks such as sulci is an accepted method for studying evolutionary hominin brain reorganization. The position of the lunate sulcus in the occipital lobe has been studied in humans, early hominin endocasts, apes, and monkeys by researchers seeking to make inferences about the morphological evolution of brain regions associated with ...

Trilophosuchus brain regions. Like in other crocodylomorphs, the cranial endocast does not accurately reflect the shape of the brain itself and is instead also influenced by the extensive dural envelope. The endocast regardless gives a general idea of the brain shape, which is congruent with the linear and elongated endocasts of other ...
With the start of a new year on Jan. 1, 2025, comes the emergence of a new generation. 2025 marks the end of Generation Alpha and the start of Generation Beta, a cohort that will include all ...
When Dart examined the contents of the crate, he found a fossilized endocast of a skull showing the impression of a complex brain. He quickly searched through the rest of the fossils in the crates, and matched it to a fossilized skull of a juvenile primate, which had a shallow face and fairly small teeth.
