Abstract in brief

This study examined the brain and nasal cavity structures of four lambeosaurine hadrosaurids to understand how their cranial crests may have functioned, especially related to sensory systems like hearing and olfaction.
Results showed that lambeosaurines had brain structures similar to other hadrosaurines, with limited evidence supporting enhanced olfactory abilities; instead, their inner ears suggest they were tuned for low-frequency sounds, possibly used for communication.
The relatively large brain size in lambeosaurines supports the idea that their crests played a role in social interactions and signaling among these dinosaurs.]
