The Inductive Brain in Development and Evolution provides readers with a substantial biological education on animal nervous systems and its role in the development, adaptation, homeostasis, and evolution of species. The book begins by delving into the embryonic development of the brain, followed by the epigenetic information and neural activity post-birth. It then analyzes the inductive brain's neural and brain control of such factors like myogenesis, bone development, sensory organs, metamorphosis in vertebrates and invertebrates as well as wing development in insects. The book closes with an examination of phenotypic evolution in neural control, mechanisms, and drivers of animal brains. The first book devoted to the inductive role of the brain in development, adaptation, and evolution processes in animalsExamines the central nervous system (CNS) from the embryonic to adult life stagesProvides detailed evidence to investigate the role of the CNS in molding animal morphology and life histories INDICE: 1. Pre-neural stage of development 2. Development of the central nervous system 3. The inductive brain in animal development 4. Role of the nervous system in environment adaptation 5. Brain involvement in phenotypic evolution
