Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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, animal behavior, and ecological conditions at the time. The resulting perspective clarifies what makes the major vertebrate lineages unique and helps explain their varying degrees of ecological success. One of the book's major conclusions is that vertebrate nervous systems are more diverse than commonly assumed, at least among neurobiologists. Examples of important innovations include not only the emergence of novel brain regions, such as the cerebellum and neocortex, but also major changes in neuronal circuitry and functional organization. A second major conclusion is that many of the apparent similarities in vertebrate nervous systems resulted from convergent evolution, rather than inheritance from a common ancestor. For example, brain size and complexity increased numerous times, in many vertebrate lineages. In conjunction with these changes, olfactory inputs to the telencephalic pallium were reduced in several different lineages, and this reduction was associated with the emergence of pallial regions that process non-olfactory sensory inputs. These conclusions cast doubt on the widely held assumption that all vertebrate nervous systems are built according to a single, common plan. Instead, the book encourages readers to view both species similarities and differences as fundamental to a comprehensive understanding of nervous systems.

Download or read book Aspects of Neural Ontogeny written by A. F. W. Hughes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of Neural Ontogeny focuses on the interaction between the nervous system and peripheral organs during development, including history and development of neurons and the functions of nerves and muscles. The book first offers information on the development of neurons, including formation and growth of nerve fibers; growth cone and the extension of nerve fibers; history of the neuron theory; and path of nerve fibers. The manuscript then elaborates on the innervation of the tetrapod limb and the center and periphery. Discussions focus on the relationships between the ventral horn and muscles of the limb; experimental studies on limb plexus and limb nerves; and relationships between spinal nerves and limb muscles. The publication takes a look at the ontogeny of behavior, as well as pattern of motility, spontaneous movements, tetrapod limb, and experimental studies. The book is a dependable reference for readers interested in neural ontogeny.

Download or read book The Neural Crest and Neural Crest Cells in Vertebrate Development and Evolution written by Brian K. Hall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-28 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A presentation of all aspects of neural crest cell origins (embryological and evolutionary) development and evolution; neural crest cell behavior (migration) and anomalies (neurocristopathies and birth defects) that arise from defective neural crest development. The treatment of development will include discussions of cellular, molecular and genetic aspects of the differentiation and morphogenesis of neural crest cells and structures derived from neural crest cells. The origins of the neural crest in embryology will be discussed using the recent information on the molecular basis of the specification of the neural crest. Also presented are the advances in our understanding of the evolution of jaws from studies on lampreys and of the neural crest from studies on ascidians and amphioxus.
Download or read book Evolutionary Developmental Neurobiology written by G. F. Striedter and published by . This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrating the causal links between neural development and evolution, this special topic issue offers an authoritative perspective on this young and growing field. First, the publication provides new information on the developmental basis of eye reduction in invertebrates, especially Drosophila larvae, and links it to the more general topic of nervous system miniaturization. The following papers focus on vertebrate nervous systems and the similarities and differences in forebrain development among various vertebrates, including a special focus on the amygdala and its profound evolutionary change. Recent discoveries on brain development and evolution in teleost fishes are reviewed, emphasizing the mechanisms by which some species evolved a larger telencephalon while others lost their eyes. Finally, the publication reviews developmental changes underlying brain evolution in mammals and birds, with a focus on issues surrounding developmental constraints and evolvability. Collectively, this special topic issue provides a cutting-edge panorama of how the evo-devo approach illuminates nervous system evolution.
Download or read book Developmental and Evolutionary Aspects of the Neural Crest written by Paul F. A. Maderson and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1987-10-23 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brings together important contributions by professionals in a range of fields. Its three major sections focus on the developmental biology of the neural crest; recent advances in this area, and how current insights are contributing to our understanding of the development and organization of the nervous system; and the relationship between the neural crest and skeletal evolution. Topics discussed include interactions between cephalic neural crest and mesodermal populations, the role of tissue interactions in the evolution of the vertebrate head, tooth development in the mammalian embryo in relation to the neural crest, and much more. Extensively illustrated with over 130 pieces of artwork.

Book excerpt: Of the three organizers of this NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Neocortex: Onto geny and Phylogeny", one derived most of his knowledge about neocortex from studies on birds, another had never studied any animal but the cat and could probably recognize not more than ten animal species, and the third had very limited experience with mountaineering. They had in common the belief that evolutionary thinking permeates what biologists do, but that evolution of species and structures cannot be directly experimentally addressed. Although the fossil record can provide some major insights, the inroad to the evolution of the brain is indirect, via comparative anatomy and developmental biology. By identifying similarities and differences between brain structures in the species at hand, comparative anatomy generates hypotheses of evolutionary transformations. By understanding the rules of morphological transformation, developmental biology can, in principle, estimate the likelihood that a given transformation may have actually occurred. The meeting was a way to check if this notion is viable, by gathering together scientists from these two fields. Standing, left to right: F. Ebner, V. Caviness, M. Weisskopf, B. Fritszch, N.
