Structure and Evolution of Invertebrate Nervous Systems

af Andreas Schmidt-Rhaesa, Steffen Harzsch, GÃ¼nter Purschke ...

The nervous system is particularly fascinating for many biologists because it controls animal characteristics such as movement, behavior, and coordinated thinking. Invertebrate neurobiology has traditionally been studied in specific model organisms, whilst knowledge of the broad diversity of nervous system architecture and its evolution among metazoan animals has received less attention. This is ... Læs mere
