An evolutionary niche for quantitative theoretical analyses?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (1):23-23 (2006)
| Abstract | Striedter's book offers precious insight into the comparative neuroanatomy of vertebrate brains, but it stops short of addressing what their evolution is all about: how effectively neural networks process information important for survival. To understand the principles of brain evolution, neuroanatomy needs to be combined not only with genetics, neurophysiology, and ethology, but also with quantitative network analyses. | |||||||||
