Titre(s) : Human paleoneurology [Texte électronique] / Emiliano Bruner, editor
Publication : Cham : Springer, [2015]
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Collection : Springer series in bio-/neuroinformatics ; volume 3
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
The book presents an integrative review of paleoneurology, the study of endocranial
morphology in fossil species. The main focus is on showing how computed methods can
be used to support advances in evolutionary neuroanatomy, paleoanthropology and archaeology,
and how they have contributed to creating a completely new perspective in cognitive
neuroscience. Moreover, thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, the book addresses
students and researchers approaching human paleoneurology from different angles and
for different purposes, such as biologists, physicians, anthropologists, archaeologists
and computer scientists. The individual chapters, written by international experts,
represent authoritative reviews of the most important topics in the field. All the
concepts are presented in an easy-to-understand style, making them accessible to university
students, newcomers and also to anyone interested in understanding how methods like
biomedical imaging, digital anatomy, and computed and multivariate morphometrics can
be used for analyzing ontogenetic and phylogenetic changes according to the principles
of functional morphology, morphological integration, and modularity
