Mesozoic mammals and early mammalian brain diversity
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (5):556-557 (2003)
| Abstract | Fossil remains witness the relationship between the appearance of the middle ear and the expansion of the brain in early mammals. Nevertheless, the lack of detachment of ear ossicles in the mammaliaform Morganucodon, despite brain enlargement, points to other factors that triggered brain expansion in early mammals. Moreover, brain expansion in some early mammalian groups seems to have favored brain regions other than the cortex. | |||||||||
