Discuss the roles of development, learning and evolution in the construction of the nervous system.
Evolution, development and learning all affect the organisation of nervous systems and all are inextricably linked together. The importance of evolution can be observed easily simply by looking at the differences that occur in nature, from the relatively simple systems in invertebrates through to what is perhaps the pinnacle of complexity in the primates. Natural selection will act upon the

pressures on the processes and changes in development and learning. Evolution that is tied in with the learning process will occur at a greater rate than that implicated with development and as such will contribute to individual differences whereas the other will be more conserved and will perhaps be manifest in phyla differences. In addition, development and learning work together in early life and as such all three processes act in a variety of combina
