- Title
Evolution: three major steps to a mammalian brain.
- Authors
Flight, Monica Hoyos
- Abstract
The article discusses research on the evolution of mammalian brains. It references the study "Fossil Evidence on Origin of the Mammalian Brain," by T.B. Rowe and colleagues in the 2011 issue of the periodical "Science." It tells that the fossil skulls of two Early Jurassic mammaliaforms were scanned using high-resolution X-ray computed tomography. It tackles the brain stages such as one involving olfactory sensitivity, one represented by Hadrocodium brain, and one marked by ossified turbinals.
