Chapter 42, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction
To identify: The general trends in the evolution of the vertebrate brain.
Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) make up the vertebrate nervous system. Highly developed brain and a spinal cord are the parts of the central nervous system. CNS and mainly the brain is responsible for integrating information and responding appropriately to the given stimulus which may be external or internal. Over the course of evolution, the vertebrate brain has been subjected to some changes to become more effective.

Students have asked these similar questions
According to the five principles of functional organization apply to all mammalian and most vertebrate brains, Vertebrate brain evolution has involved repeated expansion of forebrain areas.
Explain why.
Discuss how CNS and PNS work together in receiving stimuli and sending out a response. What could have been the factors in the environment that made the evolution of brain from fishes to mammals very interesting?
observe the illustration of a frogs brain on page 383. judging from the features of the brain where to send it would appear to be most acute in a frog upon what features of the brain would you base this conjecture?

Those structures continue to develop throughout the rest of embryonic development and into adolescence. They are the basis of the structure of the fully developed adult brain.
