In groundbreaking research, a team of international scientists has uncovered key insights into the early evolution of animal nervous systems. Scientists have discovered an interesting piece of the ...

Dr. Musser said he was looking forward to seeing similar approaches applied to investigations of nervous system evolution in more ancient animal lineages like ctenophores, which include comb jellies.

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in ecdysozoan ...

A new paper from two U.K. neuropsychologists argues that consciousness is not the simple result of evolution of the central ...

Previously, scientists were unsure exactly how the ventral nerve cord (a vital component of invertebrates’ central nervous system) developed in ecdysozoans. However, a close look at Cambrian-age (541 ...

Combining the study of animal behavior with studies of nervous system form, function, and evolution, Brandon "Brady" Weissbourd, a new faculty member in the Department of Biology and investigator ...

The implicit assumption for more than 100 years was that the history of animal evolution was largely a stepwise ... so much the beginnings of an animal nervous system as the remnants of a ...
