NeuroSquam investigates the relationship between brain structure and endocasts in lizards and snakes to better understand brain evolution. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques, the project aims to clarify how brain morphology corresponds to fossilized brain impressions.
In the absence of brain tissues preserved in the fossil record, vertebrate endocasts provide the only ‘direct’ evidence of brain evolution through deep time, and the possibility to infer cognitive and sensory abilities of extinct taxa.
However, the validity of paleoneurological studies critically depends on the reliability of endocasts as a proxy for brain morphology.
The variable brain-endocast correspondences found between and within modern vertebrate lineages prevent any generalizations to da…
