Comparative Vertebrate Neuroanatomy: Evolution and Adaptation

In the citing paper

“Taking into account the process of telencephalic eversion in teleost fish and the fact that the hippocampus originates from the most distal region of the embryonic prosencephalic alar plate in land vertebrates, the pallial area considered homologous to the hippocampus in teleost fish is the dorsolateral telencephalic region [158,159,170,171,172,173].”

“Interestingly, comparative neurobiological research shows that the telencephalon of ray-finned fishes (actinopterygians) can also contain a region homologue to the hippocampus of tetrapods [158,159].”

“In summary, along with the evolutionary appearance of placodes and neural crest came the enlarged brain of craniates, well beyond that seen in the protochordates, with a complete craniate forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.”

“This brain region may require a fully developed olfactory placode for its induction (Butler, 2000, 2006; Butler and Hodos, 2005), which would imply that Haikouella had only a tiny or non-existent olfactory placode; indeed, only hints of olfactory capsules and nostrils are seen in the adult fossils.”

“She proposed that there was a transitional animal between a cephalochordate-like ancestor and the first true craniates, which she called a “cephalate” (a combination of the words “cephalochordate” and “craniates”).”

“In her intriguing scenario of the evolution of vision and the brain, Butler (Butler, 2000, 2006; Butler and Hodos, 2005) hypothesized how the advent of an advanced visual system played an early and critical role in the formation of the vertebrate brain.”

“According to this account, the transition from cephalochordate to craniate was sequential, beginning with the establishment of paired, lateral eyes and optic nerves followed by elaboration of the descending visual pathway to brainstem motor centers.”
