Drawing on both neuroscience and biology, 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Handbook of Evolutionary Neuroscience\u003c\/i\u003e unifies these two linked aspects of the field, embedding them in a strong theoretical framework in order to create a comprehensive reference for advanced students and researchers. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters provide a thorough overview of brain structure and development, an exploration of how brains change through evolution and experience, and a discussion of how brains interact. The text 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, \u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Handbook of Evolutionary Neuroscience\u003c\/i\u003e is a rigorous introduction to an active and important field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990372270309,"sku":"NP9781119994695","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119994695.jpg?v=1761787558","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-wiley-handbook-of-evolutionary-neuroscience-isbn-9781119994695","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
