More evidence for terrestriality in baurusuchids. Great to see notosuchian endocast/endocranial morphology being more explored!

A coronal view of the surgical trajectory for the interhemispheric corridor. Important structures include: 1) cingulum, 2) corpus callosum & 3) fornices. Take care to preserve the cerebrovascular structures at each dissection level.

The arachnoid layer of the #spinalcord is attached to the dura. The pia is firmly attached to the dura by 21 pairs of extensions called denticulate ligaments.The denticulate ligaments promote spinal cord stability by limiting cranial-caudal movements.

Guanlong showed that every lineage with giants had small beginnings. Also the cranial crest of Guanlong is intriguing, and may have been used for display. Artwork by @BrianEngh_Art

American neurosurgeon Peter Jannetta (1932-2016) was dissecting cranial nerves in the lab when he noticed a blood vessel pressing on a nerve. This led to a microvascular decompression operation for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and other vascular compression syndromes!
Artists are a curious lot, heads filled with mysterious images wanting to manifest in a visual sensibility.
Imagine that.
It is amazing to consider some mental impulse traveling from the cranial cavern, through the arm and out the fingers. What an incredible process it is.

Neurovascular conflict for cranial nerve compression syndromes can include arteries and veins. Which artery is the most common culprit in trigeminal neuralgia? What about in hemifacial spasm?

(hopefully) got all the overlapping cranial material, although still debating on whether to include that one nasal fragment

Blue arrow demonstrates the supralateral cerebellar approach for microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. Green arrow demonstrates the infralateral cerebellar or infrafloccular approach for hemifacial spasm.
