Neural Darwinism

This work by a leading neuroscientist offers a revolutionary new perspective on brain function and the nervous system. It argues that each individual's nervous system operates as a selective system resembling natural selection in evolution, revolutionizing our understanding of perception, action, and learning. The book ranges over many disciplines and is a must-read for advanced students in the fields of developmental and evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, ethology, and psychology. It also offers a fascinating interpretation of memory and deep philosophical insights into the mind-body problem, the origins of knowledge, and the perceptual basis of language.
