Comparative neuroanatomy has been a challenging research field, even with the methodological innovations in recent years. In this context, cortical surface reconstructions emerged as a new venue to provide further insights on brain morphology, but they are mostly limited to humans and a few other primates, hindering a systematic understanding of diversity in brain anatomy across species.Here, we implemented an innovative pipeline, Stitcher (Mynssen et al., in preparation), to reconstruct the cortical surface of five lesser-known mammals belonging to four orders: Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Cetace
