This book presents a comprehensive account of the structural organisation of all
vertebrate groups, ranging from amphioxus and lamprey through fishes, amphibians and
birds to mammals. It covers and synthesises one and a half century's research, placing it
in the context of the wealth of findings obtained with modern techniques, such as track
tracing with different markers, immunohistochemistry and gene mapping. Although
the work focusses on structure, functional correlations are provided throughout. The
large specialised section of the work, devoted to the central nervous system of the
various vertebrate groups, is preceded by introductory chapters dealing with neurons,
cell masses, fibre tracts, morphogenesis, histogenesis and techniques. The concepts
and methodology of modern comparative neuroscience are systematically treated.
A concluding chapter surveys the major fields and "levels" of current comparative
neurobiology. An outstanding feature of the work is the presence of numerous especially
commissioned detailed and standardized illustrations at both the macroscopic and
microscopic level. This three-volume work, including five colour posters, and the Human
Central Nervous System (R. Nieuwenhuys et al. 1988, 3rd edn., 4th edn. forthcoming),
constitute together a unique reference work for the central nervous system of all
vertebrates.
