Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

Evolution of Nervous Systems, Third edition Four-volume set includes wholly new content, all chapters from the previous edition have been thoroughly updated, and 50 brand new contributions by leading experts have been added. 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 well as mechanisms of change, which involve gene expression and altered courses of embryonic development. The reader can select from chapters on highly specific topics as well as those providing an overview of current thinking and approaches. This timely new edition of Evolution of Nervous Systems is a unique major reference work, offering the gold standard for those interested in evolution and in nervous systems.

Key features

• Presents a broad range of topics, ranging from genetic control of development in invertebrates, to human cognition, offering a one-stop resource for the evolution of nervous systems throughout the animal kingdom
• Incorporates the expertise of over 100 outstanding investigators who provide their conclusions in the context of the latest experimental results
• Presents areas of disagreement and consensus views that provide a holistic view of the subjects under discussion
• Use of MRW chapter template ensure consistency across entire manuscript and uniformity for the Neuroscience reference collection
• Fifty brand new chapters planned for this edition

Readership
The chapters are designed to be accessible to non-experts, providing comprehensive overviews of each topic that aim to be free of the highly technical detail of most research papers. The work is therefore valuable to undergraduates and graduate student courses in neuroscience, psychology and anthropology. The Editor-in-Chief and Volume Editors will aim to reduce the amount of professional jargon so that arguments and conclusions can be understood by non-experts, while experts in any field can use the volumes to place their work in the broad framework of the subject. The work is also very useful as a teaching aid for those working within the field of neuroscience, comparative biology or psychology. Many professional neuroscientists find they need to step outside of their core areas of research in order to place their work into a broader context. Evolution of Nervous Systems allows researchers to do so through providing reputable, foundational information, enabling researchers to get to grips quickly with the wider subject area and unfamiliar topics, to check facts and to explore further reading and references
