This book presents a detailed examination of the current state of
knowledge in the field of paleoneurology in the main amniote groups
(reptiles, birds and mammals), and advances resulting from new
non-invasive technologies. The study of fossil endocasts is an area
of considerable current interest, and has long been central to our
understanding of the evolution of the brain, development of senses
and behavioral adaptations in diverse vertebrate groups and across
vertebrates as a whole. Recent advances in non-invasive imaging
have significantly increased the number of fossil taxa for which
brain morphology is known, and it may now be possible to
quantitatively analyze the relative size of brain regions.
Providing a general overview of current perspectives and problems
in evolutionary neuroanatomy, this book is intended for a wide
range of readers, including undergraduate and graduate students,
teachers, and anyone with a special interest in paleoneurology. It
is also useful as supplementary reading for courses in digital
anatomy, vertebrate comparative anatomy, computed morphometrics,
paleontology, neurology and radiology as well as evolution programs
