This corresponds to the first detailed description of cranial materials of Lagerpetidae, an enigmatic group of Late Triassic (c. 236\u2013200 Million years ago) animals that are the closest known relatives of pterosaurs, the flying reptiles. The braincase of <jats:italic>D. gregorii<\/jats:italic> is characterized by the presence of an anteriorly elongated laterosphenoid and a postparietal, features observed in stem\u2010archosaurs but that were still unknown in early members of the avian lineage of archosaurs. Using micro\u2010computed tomography (CT\u2010scan data), we present digital reconstructions of the brain and endosseous labyrinth of <jats:italic>D. gregorii<\/jats:italic>. The brain of <jats:italic>D. gregorii<\/jats:italic> exhibits a floccular lobe of the cerebellum that projects within the space of the semicircular canals. The semicircular canals are relatively large when compared to other archosauromorphs, with the anterior canal exhibiting a circular shape. These features of the sensory structures of <jats:italic>D. gregorii<\/jats:italic> are more similar to those of pterosaurs than to those of other early avemetatarsalians. In sum, the braincase anatomy of <jats:italic>D. gregorii<\/jats:italic> shows a combination of plesiomorphic and apomorphic features in the phylogenetic context of Archosauria and suggests that the still poorly understood early evolution of the braincase in avemetatarsalians is complex, with a scenario of independent acquisitions and losses of character states.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.25334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,5]],"date-time":"2023-10-05T15:30:59Z","timestamp":1696519859000},"page":"1147-1174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Braincase and neuroanatomy of the lagerpetid <i>Dromomeron gregorii<\/i> (Archosauria, Pterosauromorpha) with comments on the early evolution of the braincase and associated soft tissues in Avemetatarsalia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"307","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1542-3199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"Bronzati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fachbereich Geowissenschaften der Eberhard Karls University T\u00fcbingen  T\u00fcbingen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Max C.","family":"Langer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biologia Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo  Ribeir\u00e3o Preto SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6000-6450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mart\u00edn D.","family":"Ezcurra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Secci\u00f3n Paleontolog\u00eda de Vertebrados CONICET\u2212Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales \u201cBernardino Rivadavia\u201d  Buenos Aires Argentina"},{"name":"School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham  Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle R.","family":"Stocker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"},{"name":"Vertebrate Paleontology Collection The University of Texas at Austin  Austin Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7017-1652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sterling J.","family":"Nesbitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences Virginia Tech  Blacksburg Virginia USA"},{"name":"Vertebrate Paleontology Collection The University of Texas at Austin  Austin Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"233","article-title":"New materials and reinterpretation of Lagerpeton chanarensis Romer (Thecodontia, Lagerpetonidae nov.) from the Middle Triassic of La Rioja, Argentina","volume":"23","author":"Arcucci A.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Ameghiniana"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.earscirev.2021.103777"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Biology of the Reptilia, volume 11, morphology F","author":"Bellairs A.","year":"1981"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1096-3642.1996.tb01267.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/joa.12726"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","series-title":"The Systematics Association Special Volume No. 35A","first-page":"295","volume-title":"The phylogeny and classification of the tetrapods.
