About this title

Synopsis

Explore how brain structures map to movement and senses across intermediate primates.

This edition surveys how neural regions relate to posture, locomotion, and behavior among primates like gibbon, macacus, and baboon. It highlights how arboreal life, tail development, and limb specialization influence brain organization, with a focus on areas that govern balance, motor control, and sensory input.

• How the nucleus of Goll, Burdach, and related sensory stations reflect differences in limb use and proprioception.
• The role of the vestibular system and Deiters’ area in balancing and locomotion for tree-dwelling vs ground-dwelling species.
• Variations in the cerebellar dentate and dentatus, red nucleus, and pontile nuclei as they relate to skilled movement and manual dexterity.
• The evolution of midbrain and brainstem structures that support hearing, sight, and reflex responses in these primates.

Ideal for readers of evolutionary biology, comparative anatomy, and neuroscience who want clear, structure-focused insights into brain–behavior links.
