摘要: Reptiles and birds are a fascinating group of animals that is most critical to understanding the evolution vertebrate brains. Birds only class vertebrates can rival mammals with respect their cognitive abilities. And they do so brains vastly different from ours. This chapter reviews what we know about reptilian avian in terms quantitative analyses, structures, systems. Brains evolved produce behavior. Therefore, all anatomical physiological information this embedded into functional framework.
