Changing through doing: behavioral influences on the brain.

摘要: It seems self-evident that the brain controls behavior but does also "control" brain? This chapter examines evidence can and influence specific aspects of structure function. Evidence for such is easily obtained on an evolutionary time scale, since selective forces found in ecological niche animal are typically reflected its sensory motor activities as well body shape behavioral habits. Similarly, during development, there ample acts concert with environment to establish structural changes last a lifetime. Perhaps most surprisingly now social cause adult animals these reversible. The caused by interactions be dramatic related reproductive behavior. Understanding mechanisms responsible dynamic nervous systems major challenge discovery it occur may lead insights about other where sculpts brain.
