The nervous system is particularly fascinating for many biologists
because it controls animal characteristics such as movement,
behavior, and coordinated thinking. Invertebrate neurobiology has
traditionally been studied in specific model organisms, whilst
knowledge of the broad diversity of nervous system architecture and
its evolution among metazoan animals has received less attention.
This is the first major reference work in the field for 50 years,
bringing together many leading evolutionary neurobiologists to
review the most recent research on the structure of invertebrate
nervous systems and provide a comprehensive and authoritative
overview for a new generation of researchers. Presented in full
colour throughout, Structure and Evolution of Invertebrate Nervous
Systems synthesizes and illustrates the numerous new findings that
have been made possible with light and electron microscopy. These
include the recent introduction of new molecular and optical
techniques such as immunohistochemical staining of neuron-specific
antigens and fluorescence in-situ-hybridization, combined with
visualization by confocal laser scanning microscopy. New approaches
to analysing the structure of the nervous system are also included
such as micro-computational tomography, cryo-soft X-ray tomography,
and various 3-D visualization techniques. The book follows a
systematic and phylogenetic structure, covering a broad range of
taxa, interspersed with chapters focusing on selected topics in
nervous system functioning which are presented as research
highlights and perspectives. This comprehensive reference work will
be an essential companion for graduate students and researchers
alike in the fields of metazoan neurobiology, morphology, zoology,
phylogeny and evolution.
