Furthermore, with the rise of recently advanced artificial intelligence, there is great enthusiasm for understanding the evolution of neural networks. In fact, Europe’s big science and technology projects, a €1 billion plan called the Human Brain Project and the Blue Brain Project to understand mammalian brain networks, have been launched in recent years.

With the explosion of big data, neural-related genes and molecules is now on the radar. Important topics are provided in a timely manner, because novel techniques emerged rapidly-as seen, for examples, in the next-generation sequencers and omics approaches. It consists of 19 chapters written by academic professionals in neuroscience, opening with the origin of single-celled creatures and then introducing primordial types in invertebrates with the great abundance of the brains of vertebrates. This book presents a new, detailed examination that explains how elegant brains have been shaped in evolution.
