G'Day, I am looking for references to journal articles or textbooks discussing the evolution of nerves cells (particularly mammalian neurons of the cortex and brain in general). ******** Why and How did normal cells evolve to become neurons ? ******** I have some hunches (read hypothetical guesses) but would much rather hear of any detailed research or theories into how they may have originated and why. If you have any information I would be most grateful if you could please forward it to me, if there is enough interest I will summarize to the net.
