心脏功能通过循环系统泵送血液,而肺部从我们周围的空气中提取氧气,而神经系统的功能可以支持动物的积极参与世界。神经系统已在整个物种上的进化形成,以成功控制一个物种的个体如何在其独特的生态和社会景观中导航; a relationship elegantly articulated by Briscoe and Ragsdale 1 :“The evolution of vertebrate nervous systems is in large part the evolution of neural circuitry — whether through qualitative changes to circuit construction, increase or reduction of neuronal number at particular nodes, or through the reorganization of circuit components in space — with behavior as the target of selection, made manifest through neuronal activity”.大脑不是通用机器:大脑的细胞,电路和区域已被共同优化以支持物种曲目中的行为。
