    Endocranial capacity in an early hominid cranium from Sterkfontein, South Africa (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-06-20
    Description: Two- and three-dimensional computer imaging shows that endocranial capacity in an approximately 2.8- to 2.6-million-year-old early hominid cranium (Stw 505) from Sterkfontein, South Africa, tentatively assigned to Australopithecus africanus, is approximately 515 cubic centimeters. Although this is the largest endocranial capacity recorded for this species, it is still markedly less than anecdotal reports of endocranial capacity exceeding 600 cubic centimeters. No australopithecine has an endocranial capacity approaching, let alone exceeding, 600 cubic centimeters. Some currently accepted estimates of early hominid endocranial capacity may be inflated, suggesting that the tempo and mode of early hominid brain evolution may need reevaluation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Conroy, G C -- Weber, G W -- Seidler, H -- Tobias, P V -- Kane, A -- Brunsden, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jun 12;280(5370):1730-1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology and Department of Anthropology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA. conroyg@thalamus.wustl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9624045" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The brain of LB1, Homo floresiensis (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-03-08
    Description: The brain of Homo floresiensis was assessed by comparing a virtual endocast from the type specimen (LB1) with endocasts from great apes, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, a human pygmy, a human microcephalic, specimen number Sts 5 (Australopithecus africanus), and specimen number WT 17000 (Paranthropus aethiopicus). Morphometric, allometric, and shape data indicate that LB1 is not a microcephalic or pygmy. LB1's brain/body size ratio scales like that of an australopithecine, but its endocast shape resembles that of Homo erectus. LB1 has derived frontal and temporal lobes and a lunate sulcus in a derived position, which are consistent with capabilities for higher cognitive processing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Falk, Dean -- Hildebolt, Charles -- Smith, Kirk -- Morwood, M J -- Sutikna, Thomas -- Brown, Peter -- Jatmiko -- Saptomo, E Wayhu -- Brunsden, Barry -- Prior, Fred -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Apr 8;308(5719):242-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anthropology, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA dfalk@fsu.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15749690" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Computer-Assisted 3D Reconstruction of Serial Sections of Cortical Bone to Determine the 3D Structure of Osteons (1999)
    Springer
    Calcified tissue international 65 (1999), S. 280-284 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0827

    Notes: Abstract. The objective of this study was to create three-dimensional (3D) images for the histomorphological study of osteons. Medical imaging technology was used to register digitized 2D images of serial decalcified histological sections of bone, to segment the tissues of interest from the surrounding tissues, and to create 3D reconstructions from the segmented structures. Examination of the 3D reconstructions did not support suggestions in the literature that osteons have a spiraling organization. In contrast, the 3D reconstructions indicated that osteons have a complex pattern of organization that is dominated by branching. Examination of the reconstructions also suggested that osteons described in the literature as being dumbbell shaped are actually artifacts of the plane of sectioning. This study demonstrated the applicability of imaging and visualization technology developed for the 3D reconstruction of medical images to the reconstruction of digitized 2D images of serial sections of bone and additionally demonstrated the feasibility of using 3D reconstructions for the histomorphological study of osteons.
