    The history of discovery and study of the unique mummified brain of the 39 thousand cal. BP woolly mammoth fossil from Yakutian permafrost with special references to the big brain reconstruction method is provided. The preliminary description of the reconstracted gyri and sulci is described and paleoneurological perspectives are observed and discussed. The big brain of the woolly mammoth demonstrates the complicated patterns of the primary, seconds and tertiary gyrification, which could be potentially used for the comparative study of the extinct mammoth specimen and living representatives of Elephantidae and for searching cross-genus differences.
