Neuroscientists need to be evolutionarily challenged
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (1):13-14 (2006)
| Abstract | Evolutionary theory and methods are central to understanding the design of organisms, including their brains. This book does much to demonstrate the value of evolutionary neuroscience. Further work is needed to clarify the ways that neural systems evolved in general (specifically, the interaction between mosaic and coordinated evolution of brain components), and phylogenetic methods should be given a more prominent role in the analysis of comparative data. | |||||||||
