Description of Evolution of Nervous Systems
Evolution of Nervous Systems written by Jon H Kaas is great for the Nervous System and its evolution studies available in ebook (PDF) free download. The 1st version of this series in 2007 included 125 chapters & 4 volumes on a range of topics. The goal was to have chapters by experts in the field that would be both informative and readable by interested nonexperts, as well as those that worked in the field. I was greatly impressed with the I have returned and results in these chapters many times myself. A portion of the chapters was later reprinted in a single volume that could be used as readings in a neuroscience class. While these articles will long be researchers, valuable have been very productive & the field of comparative neuroscience has grown and advanced. Thus, when the acquisition editor for Ginny Mills, Elsevier, approached me to see if I was interested in producing another series of new articles, the time seemed right to me. After some discussion, we agreed to proceed with a new 4 volume series, with two significant changes.
Volume 1 of the previous series covered invertebrates as well as theoretical & development background. An emphasis on nervous systems of invertebrate seemed redundant to me due to the recent publication of major volumes on invertebrate nervous systems elsewhere. Thus, we incorporated development and theory in all volumes as needed and started the series with a volume on non-mammalian vertebrates. Second, due to the great interest in the evolution of human brains, and the comparative studies and many new results from brain imaging in both monkeys and humans. Thus, we have Volume 2 on mammals, Volume 3 on primate brains, & Volume 4 on ape and human brains.
