The world's first study into the brain anatomy of an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived at the same time as the dinosaurs, has shed light on how the reptilian brain adapted to life in the oceans. The work, led by University of Bristol undergraduate Ryan Marek, is out this week in the journal Palaeontology.
