Evolution of Nervous Systems, Second Edition, Four Volume Set is a
unique, major reference which offers the gold standard for those
interested both in evolution and nervous systems. All biology only
makes sense when seen in the light of evolution, and this is
especially true for the nervous system. All animals have nervous
systems that mediate their behaviors, many of them species
specific, yet these nervous systems all evolved from the simple
nervous system of a common ancestor. To understand these nervous
systems, we need to know how they vary and how this variation
emerged in evolution. In the first edition of this important
reference work, over 100 distinguished neuroscientists assembled
the current state-of-the-art knowledge on how nervous systems have
evolved throughout the animal kingdom. This second edition remains
rich in detail and broad in scope, outlining 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, including humans. The book
also includes wholly new content, fully updating the chapters in
the previous edition and offering brand new content on current
developments in the field. Each of the volumes has been carefully
restructured to offer expanded coverage of non-mammalian taxa,
mammals, primates, and the human nervous system. The basic
principles of brain evolution are discussed, as are mechanisms of
change. The reader can select from chapters on highly specific
topics or those that provide an overview of current thinking and
approaches, making this an indispensable work for students and
researchers alike.
