DESCRIPTION:Functional craniology deals with the study of the relationship
 s among the anatomical elements of the skull\, involving issues in morphol
 ogical integration and modularity\, morphogenesis\, and phylogeny. Digital
  anatomy and computed morphometrics have represented a major advance in th
 is field. Human paleoneurology concerns the relationships between brain an
 d braincase in hominids\, and it is aimed at evaluating how these relation
 ships have changed in the last five millions years. The analysis of the st
 ructural and functional relationships between cranial and endocranial comp
 onents are necessary to support evolutionary interpretations of brain form
  changes associated with the evolution of the human genus. Because of the 
 constraints between soft and hard tissue\, some of these changes can be re
 levant to understand the evolutionary background of some pathological cond
 itions associated with spatial organization\, vascular networks\, or metab
 olic processes.
