He says the CT-scans helped the team construct a virtual brain case for two of the ancient mammals.

他说，CT扫描可以帮助研究组对古代哺乳动物的大脑进行建模分析。

And it actually turned out to be the brain case of this dinosaur which sort of fitted with the skull.

事实证明，这只恐龙的脑部化石与颅骨化石相吻合。

Your flat bones are the thinner ones, like your sternum and scapulae, and also the bones that make up your brain case.

你扁平的骨头是较薄的，比如胸骨和肩胛骨，还有构成你大脑外壳的骨头。

Lawrence Witmer of Ohio University conducted CAT scans on the brain case of Pachyrhinosaurus looking for clues as to how the dinosaur may have behaved.

俄亥俄大学的劳伦斯·维特莫对肿鼻角龙的颅腔进行了CAT扫描，寻找线索来了解这种恐龙可能的行为方式。

Our brain case, for example, gets fused together in sutures by the age of two as all that cartilage turns to bone.

例如，我们的脑壳在两岁时通过缝线融合在一起，因为所有的软骨都变成了骨头。

Ceratopsian brain cases are actually separated from their skull which means that they can actually have a large impact on something and it's not gonna addle their brain.

肿鼻角龙的颅腔其实与它们的颅骨是分开的，这说明就算它们猛烈地撞击到什么东西也不会损伤它们的脑。

The brain is housed in a box called the brain case, with openings for nerves that send messages to the rest of the body, including the spinal cord.

大脑被安置在一个叫做脑壳的盒子里，上面有神经开口，可以将信息发送到身体的其他部位，包括脊髓。

However, there is some evidence in terms of CAT scans on the inside of the skull and some of the hollow chambers in that brain case that are a little peculiar in Nanotyrannus.

然而对其颅内结构的CT扫描发现了一些证据，矮暴龙颅骨里的一些空腔显示它有些不同之处。
