دانلود کتاب Evolution of Nervous Systems, Second Edition

The book assumes that hodologies (neural circuits, connectome) does generate psyche, i.e. cognitive physical phenomena. In addition, the present textbook also silences all the work produced in academic neurobiology outside the anglophone tradition, trying to impose this tradition´s narrative over the whole world. In particular, it silences all of the studies about the functions of relation before multicells, and about which processes did unicells evolutionarily transfer onto nervous systems for accomplishing the same functions of relation. For a summary of this topic, altogether neglected in the present text, see, in this same library (libgen.io) pp. 343-366, "Origen y evolución de los sistemas nerviosos" (Spanish), in ID 1530460: Mario Crocco & al, Un Palindrome, Folia Neurobiológica Argentina XI, Buenos Aires 2008.

From the Editor: Evolution of Nervous Systems, Second Edition 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.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 kingdomIncorporates the expertise of over 100 outstanding investigators who provide their conclusions in the context of the latest experimental results
