Comprehensive and authoritative, The Wiley Handbook of Evolutionary Neuroscience?unifies the diverse strands of an interdisciplinary field exploring the evolution of brains and cognition.
Evolutionary neuroscience is an interdisciplinary research field that studies the evolution of brains and cognition. Drawing on both biology and neuroscience, evolutionary neuroscientists work across species in order to better understand how biology builds minds, and how this informs our scientific understanding of the human brain. The Wiley Handbook of Evolutionary Neuroscience unifies these two linked aspects of the field, embedding them in a strong theoretical framework in order to create a comprehensive reference for researchers and advanced students.
Chapters provide a thorough overview of brain development and structure , an exploration of how brains change through experience and evolution, and a discussion of how brains interact. The ebook also offers a balanced view of brain anatomy, looking beyond higher vertebrates to reveal the common mechanisms that govern computation and behavior across widely disparate species. Combining a broad focus with authoritative coverage, The Wiley Handbook of Evolutionary Neuroscience is a rigorous introduction to an important and active field.
