A cool brainy study, the results of which don’t surprise me that much. From my (very gross) observations of brains through time the fore + mid unit appear to operate quite differently from the hindbrain… 🐟 🧠 🐸

Nature Portfolio@natureportfolio.nature.com · last wk.

A study in Nature Neuroscience shows that the brain arises from two distinct progenitors, not one. One forms the forebrain and midbrain, whereas the other generates the hindbrain. go.nature.com/3Vb6Jwk #Neuroskyence 🧪

New paper out today! Led by Daniel Schwarz, we retrodeformed the skull and reconstructed the cranio-mandibular musculature of the giant stem-amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus. Our results show that Mastodonsaurus had a powerful bite and a crocodile- like bite-and-hold feeding style.

Cool new research on the #Thylacine, not like a wolf at all! 🐺 Congrats on the cool paper @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social et al.!

Weisbecker B&B Lab@weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · last mo.

Our new study shows how unlike other living predatory mammals the thylacine was, skull-wise: huge heads, altirostral, long & flared snouts, massive infraorbital foramina. Key point: Don't treat marsupials like copies of European placentals. @dsrovinsky.bsky.social
