Paleoneurology, a discipline within palaeoanthropology, aims to reconstruct the brains of extinct hominids using fossilized cranial remains. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computerized Tomography (CT scan) represent two distinct methodologies utilized in paleoneurology, each offering unique insights into ancient brain size, morphology, and variability. MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique and provides high-resolution images of soft tissues in living organisms, enabling researchers t
