Abstract. A detailed description of the neuroanatomy of Murusraptor barrosaensis—a mid-sized non-maniraptoran theropod from the Late Cretaceous of north Patagonia—is based on the exceptionally preserved type braincase. CT scans provide new information on the braincase, brain, cranial nerves, encephalic vasculature, and inner ear of this taxon. Worldwide, relatively few non-maniraptoran theropod braincases have been described in detail and the new information reported here is important to…
