Abstract in brief

Paleoneuranatomy is a new field with potential to study evolution, but interpreting fossilized nervous tissues is very challenging without a clear method.
The authors review Cambrian arthropod fossils and find that while some evidence of nervous tissues exists, it is less common and less detailed than previously thought, emphasizing the need for careful analysis.
They suggest focusing on the vascular system’s features, especially lacunae, to better understand fossilized tissues and improve the accuracy of evolutionary interpretations, urging caution in such analyses.]
