    This lecture discusses approaching neural systems from an evolutionary perspective.

    Topics covered in this lesson
    • Origins of the brain's molecular machinery
    • Functional convergence
    • Cross-species mechanisms comparison
    • The value of diverse model systems
    • Physical constraints and neural solutions: sound localization, with owls as a model organism
