Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. A comprehensive academic text that explores how the central nervous system controls the behavior of ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates. The book serves to bridge the gap between extensive mammalian research and the understudied neurobiology of lower vertebrates. It primarily focuses on teleost fish and amphibians, the two classes about which the most neurobiological data was available at the time. It is a foundational text in comparative neuroethology. Its significance lies in bridging the gap between extensive mammalian brain studies and our understanding of lower vertebrates (primarily fish and amphibians), providing crucial insights into the evolutionary roots of brain structure, sensory processing, and behavioral modification.
