Quick Summary:

The brains of today's birds facilitate a level of cognitive prowess and behavioral complexity rivaled only by mammals.

But how the avian brain evolved over many millions of years from an ancestral dinosaurian form has long puzzled scientists.

"It is long-sought evidence because well-preserved 3D skulls of early birds - those that flew over the heads of dinosaurs - are extremely rare, and this one is the best preserved ever," said Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County paleontologist and study co-lead author Luis Chiappe.
