The Inductive Brain in Development and Evolution provides readers with a substantial biological education on animal nervous systems and their role in the development, adaptation, homeostasis and evolution of species. The book delving into the embryonic development of the brain and then discusses 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, and wing development in insects. The book closes with an examination of phenotypic evolution in neural control, mechanisms, and drivers of animal brains.The Inductive Brain in Development and Evolution provides readers with a substantial biological education on animal nervous systems and their role in the development, adaptation, homeostasis and evolution of species.

Presents 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 embryonic to adult life stagesProvides detailed evidence to investigate the role of the CNS in molding animal morphology and life histories

Provides readers with a basic biological education, and an easy and understandable introduction into a new epigenetic theory of development and evolution. This title describes the epigenetic mechanisms of the development and evolution of animals and explains the colossal evolution and diversification of animals from a post-genetic perspective.
