Evolution of nervous systems
Provides knowledge on how nervous systems evolved throughout the animal kingdom. Outlines the changes in brain and nervous system organization that occurred from the first invertebrates and vertebrates, to present day fishes, reptiles, birds, mammals, and especially primates, in…
"In science, sometimes it is best to keep things simple. Initially discrediting the discovery of neurons in jellyfish, mid-nineteenth-century scientists grouped jellyfish, comb-jellies, hydra, and sea anemones together under one term - "coelenterates" - and deemed these animals …
"An overview of how networks develop in the brain; from their emergence during early development to normal aging and in the presence of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders"--
Features of complex networks -- Evolution of neural systems -- Organization of neural systems -- Brain development -- Layer formation -- Axonal growth -- Formation of hubs -- Module formation -- Cortical folding -- Development and ageing -- Neurodevelopmental disorders -- Neurod…

"Much is conserved in vertebrate evolution, but significant changes in the nervous system occurred at the origin of vertebrates and in most of the major vertebrate lineages. This book examines these innovations and relates them to evolutionary changes in other organ systems, ani…
This book encourages readers to view similarities and differences in various species as fundamental to a comprehensive understanding of nervous systems. "When did the first vertebrates emerge, and how did they differ from their invertebrate ancestors? When did vertebrates evolv…
