Central Auditory Pathways in Anamniotic Vertebrates

Book cover Comparative Studies of Hearing in Vertebrates

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries witnessed rapid growth in descriptive neuroanatomy. This period of intensive study of nervous systems in a wide variety of vertebrates resulted in several hypotheses concerning the origin and subsequent evolution of the otic and lateralis systems. These hypotheses possess two common features: they are based on descriptive anatomical material and were not tested experimentally as the appropriate techniques did not yet exist; and they reflect certain supposed anatomical relationships among an amniotic vertebrates that were believed to form a linear series of increasingly complex groups.
