Further Observations on the Morphology of the Forebrain in Gymnophiona, with Reference to the Topologic Vertebrate Forebrain Pattern

  • Chapter

Abstract

Paraphrasing a remark of Ludwig Edinger, it could be said that the amphibian brain, if perhaps not in all aspects the simplest vertebrate brain, does indeed display the most distinct manifestation of the fundamental configurational pattern characteristic for the neuraxis of all vertebrates. Thus, in particular, it provides a most suitable frame of reference for an understanding of both comparative anatomy and presumptive phylogenetic evolution of the vertebrate forebrain.
