Spinal cord
*lower vertebrates: reflex organ, independent
*higher vertebrates: ‘guidance’ organ, no independency
* number of segment variable:
10 pair (amphibia) to > 400 pair (snakes)
* morphology determined by way of movement:
intumescentia only in animals with limbs
* development ascending/descening tracts:
lower vertebrates < higher vertebrates
Brain
* high variability without clear pattern
* relationship with other variables?
evolutionary steps
environment-lifestyle
sea lamprey
diet
locomotor complexity
reproductive behaviour
selection pressure
Rhesus monkey
* telencephalon:
chordata < primates
lissencephal ↔ gyrencephal
opossum
Brain/body size relationship
cheetah
lion
rat
giraffe
chimpanzee
