Scientists use digital skull scans to reveal bird brain structures, intelligence, and evolution without actual brains.

The discovery was made possible by comparing historical microscopic sections of the brain with digital imprints of the bird's inside braincase, in the largest such study of its kind covering 136 ...

Navaornis had a larger cerebrum than Archaeopteryx, suggesting it had more advanced cognitive capabilities than the earliest ...

“Bird brain” is often hurled at someone as an insult, but scientists have discovered that the brains of birds are so large that they are “practically a braincase with a beak”. By looking ...
