... contributed to propose models of pallial fundamental divisions, which can be compared across species and be used to extract general organizing principles as well as to ask more focused and insightful research questions. The use of these models is crucial to discern between conservation, convergence...

... by orthologous action selection circuits that are formed by homologous gene networks and which can lead to similar pathologies and behavioral disorders. It has been argued, however, that these similarities of brain centers can only be due to convergent evolution. What is still missing is a plausible scenario...

... Convergence Coleoid Nautilus The coleoid cephalopods have a large and multilobed cerebral ganglion (brain or CNS), one of the most complex nervous systems among the invertebrates [reviewed in Nixon and Young, 2003] and certainly among the molluscs themselves (fig. 2 A–D; fig. 1 B). Compared...

... information? This might be the case if these commonalities are convergent adaptations that serve similar functions, but similar features can be present in disparate animals for other reasons. For example, similar features may be present because of inheritance from a common ancestor (homology), may represent...

... types cannot be explained in this way. Moreover, phylogenetic homology cannot explain the similarities among different types of cerebellum-like structures. Evolutionary convergence provides the best explanation for all these similarities that cannot be explained by homology. The convergence is almost...

...Harold H. Zakon Divergence and convergence are two evolutionary processes by which organisms become adapted to their environments. With the advent of molecular biological techniques it is possible to ask if these processes are observed at the molecular level. There are many examples of molecular...
