![]() ![]() The “Brain Science Series” provides critical and comprehensive discussions of the most significant areas of neuroscience research, written by scientific leaders and authorities. Hofman Toru Shimizu EditorsĮvolution of the Brain, Cognition, and Emotion in Vertebratesīrain Science Series Editors Hideyuki Okano School of Medicine Keio University Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Atsushi Iriki Laboratory for Symbolic Cognitive Development RIKEN BSI Wako-shi, Saitama, Japan This work will appeal to a wide readership in such fields as neuroscience, cognitive science, and behavioral science. Third, comparative behavioral studies have demonstrated that sophisticated cognition and emotion are not unique to some primates but are also found in many non-primate and even non-mammalian species. Second, comparative neuroanatomists have accumulated a large amount of information about the brains of diverse animal groups to refute the old-fashioned idea that vertebrate brains evolved linearly from non-mammals to mammals. First, taking advantage of a new integrated approach called evolutionary developmental biology or Evo/Devo, researchers have started to look into vertebrate brain evolution from the developmental perspective. ![]() This book is particularly focused on three significant aspects of such changes. Since then, there has been a series of dramatic methodological and conceptual changes which have led to many new insights into the understanding of brain evolution and cognition. Around a half-century ago, Professor Harry Jerison published a seminal book entitled Evolution of the Brain and Intelligence. This book presents a new view on the evolution of the brain, cognition, and emotion. ![]()
