Classic comparative studies have revealed great diversity of neural networks and complex behaviors in many animalgroups.Therecentintegrativemolecular,developmental,physiological,and psychologicalapproaches,however,haverevealedunexpectedcommonalityinthe basicstructuresandfunctionsacrossanimalphylogeny.Thestructuralframeworks of the nervous systems and brains are often replicated in artificial intelligence or machines constructed by human activities, suggesting that functional similarities provideacommondesignforinformationprocessingsystemsthroughbiophysical constraints. Thebookintroducestheoriginofneuronswiththesingle-cellcreatureswithout neurons and then goes on to primordial types in invertebrates such as cnidarians, flatworms, molluscs, insects, and chordates, with a great abundance of the brains of vertebrates: fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals, including whales and humans. Recently,anumberofresearchinvestigationsofdiverseandminororganismshave beenconducted,andweneedtokeepuptodate.Eachchapterprovidesprofessional anddetailedtopicsaboutbrainevolution;however,thisbookasawholeisarranged alongasimpleconcepttofindsomethingofcommondesign.Also,non-organisms such as modelsand materials are coveredto explorethe designsin the origin and evolutionaryprocesses,buttheyarenotcomprehensive.Thetopicsareprovidedin atimelymannerbecausenoveltechniquesemergedrapidly,forexample,asseenin next-generationsequencersandomics(e.g.,genomics,proteomics,metabolomics, and connectomics) approaches. With the explosion of big data, the neural-related genesandmoleculesarenowontheradar. Importantly, now the neural networks have been taken notice of. For instance, Europe’s AC1 billion science and technology projects, such as the Human Brain Project,were launchedin 2013to analyzebrainconnectomics.The biginterdisci- plinaryplan,theBlueBrainProject,alsoaimstounderstandthesmallmammalian brain. Furthermore, with the rise of recently advanced artificial neural networks, there is enthusiasm for the development of neural network models. The views of brainevolutionprovideanessentialopportunitytogenerateideasfornovelneuron- v vi Preface andbrain-inspiredcomputation.Forthatreason,thisbookwillshowthereaderhow toextractmeaningfulneuralstructuresinnature. For undergraduates, graduate students, and professional scientists who seek a deeper understanding, this volume demonstrates how to find the basic principles shapingbrainsthatprovidedhighercognitivefunctionsin thecourseofevolution. Ourambitionisthatthebookwillstimulatestudents,particularlyyoungscientists, to delve into problems remaining in this discipline.
