Comprehensive and authoritative, The Wiley Handbook of Evolutionary Neuroscience unifies the diverse strands of an interdisciplinary field exploring the evolution of brains and cognition. A comprehensive reference that unifies the diverse interests and approaches associated with the neuroscientific study of brain evolution and the emergence of cognitionTackles some of the biggest questions in neuroscience including what brains are for, what factors constrain their biological development, and how they evolve and interactProvides a broad and balanced view of the subject, reviewing both vertebrate and invertebrate anatomy and emphasizing their shared origins and mechanismsFeatures contributions from highly respected scholars in their fields
