Endocranial volume and shape variation in early anthropoid evolution
… geometric morphometric analyses of virtual endocasts constructed from micro-CT scans of primate crania. Fossil taxa included in these analyses are: 1) anthropoids Parapithecus, Aegyptopithecus (Early Oligocene, Egypt), Homunculus and Tremacebus (Early Miocene, Argentina), and 2) Eocene …

Palaeobiology and flight capacity of volant palaeognaths (Pan-Palaeognathae: Lithornithidae): implications for the common ancestor of extant palaeognaths and early crown birds
… the previously undescribed neurocranium, brain endocast, and endosseous labyrinth of the Lithornis vulturinus neotype that had hitherto not been published on. The endocast of L. vulturinus may provide the clearest insights to date into the neuroanatomy of early crown group birds, combining an …

How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
… palaeoneurological studies rely on cranial endocasts, replicas of the internal surface of the braincase, to infer structural changes over time. While subjective interpretations and taxonomic assumptions have limited traditional endocast analyses, recent advances in digital imaging and …
