THE ELEMENTARY NERVOUS SYSTEM CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The elementary nervous system is that type of nervous system in which the structural and functional elements present themselves in their simplest states. It is most extensively represented in the lower multicellular animals, but it is found locally in as highly differentiated forms as the vertebrates. It probably represents the primitive nervous system in that it reproduces much that must have been characteristic of nervous organs in their earliest stages of evolution. It has been an object of investigation and interest only within comparatively recent years. Its derivative, that complex aggregate of organs known as the central nervous system of the higher animals, attracted the attention of anatomists and physiologists at a much earlier period. This was doubtless due to the unusual development of the central nervous organs in man and other higher animals. The human brain is a structure whose size and position naturally compels attention, whereas the chief nervous organs in many of the lower animals are often so insignificant as to be easily overlooked. Although the first attempts at elucidating the structure and functions of the nervous system were made on the higher animals, it was a long time before this system was recognized as the exclusive seat of the most striking characteristic of man, his mental life. Only gradually was it discovered that his conscious states represent the action of a single system of organs, the nervous system, as contrasted with the rest of his body. To the ancients this conscious life, whose chief attribute is personality, seemed to permeate the whole human frame. In fact, Aristotle, who was such an accurate observer and profound thinker in so many fields...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary Nervous System The dependence of human affairs upon the nervous system of man is so absolute that it was inevitable, as soon as this relation was understood, that the activities of the simpler animals should be interpreted as though, these creatures were miniature human beings. That such interpretation was carried far beyond its legitimate bounds, even by the scientifically trained, is now admit ted on almost all sides, but it is no easy or simple task to ascribe to this movement its proper bounds. That these bounds are vastly more restricted than has usually been, supposed is certain. An approach to a clearer under standing of what they are is assured, through the application of experimental and quantitative methods to the questions concerned rather than by a continuation of the older more purely observational procedure. It is from this standpoint that an attempt has been made in this volume to portray the elementary nervous system as it exists in the simpler animals and in the simpler parts of) the more complex forms. It is believed that this treatment of the subject may help in the solution of the general problem by removing once and for all some of the old misunderstandings concerning the nervous system and by inviting the students attention to new methods of attack. The subject matter of the volume is drawn almost entirely from the three simpler phyla of the multicellular animals, the sponges, the c lenterates, and the ctenophores.

Swanson Milo Don and Lucille Appleman Professor of Biological Sciences and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002-10-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depending on your point of view the brain is an organ, a machine, a biological computer, or simply the most important component of the nervous system. How does it work as a whole? What are its major parts and how are they interconnected to generate thinking, feelings, and behavior? This book surveys 2,500 years of scientific thinking about these profoundly important questions from the perspective of fundamental architectural principles, and then proposes a new model for the basic plan of neural systems organization based on an explosion of structural data emerging from the neuroanatomy revolution of the 1970's. The importance of a balance between theoretical and experimental morphology is stressed throughout the book. Great advances in understanding the brain's basic plan have come especially from two traditional lines of biological thought-- evolution and embryology, because each begins with the simple and progresses to the more complex. Understanding the organization of brain circuits, which contain thousands of links or pathways, is much more difficult. It is argued here that a four-system network model can explain the structure-function organization of the brain. Possible relationships between neural networks and gene networks revealed by the human genome project are explored in the final chapter. The book is written in clear and sparkling prose, and it is profusely illustrated. It is designed to be read by anyone with an interest in the basic organization of the brain, from neuroscience to philosophy to computer science to molecular biology. It is suitable for use in neuroscience core courses because it presents basic principles of the structure of the nervous system in a systematic way.
