by W. J A J_ Smeets, R Nleuwenhuys and B_ L Roberts, Springer Verlag, 1983 DM348,-/$15000 (Ix + 266 pages) ISBN 3 540 12146 3 This beautifully illustrated volume is, m my opinion, one of the best books on c o m p a r a t w e neurology since The Bram of the Tzger Salamander by C J Herrick in 1948 The topic of the book is especmlly appropriate for any reader interested m an overview of "pnmltwe models' of brain organization, because it was experiments using the Nauta m e t h o d on sharks, about 25 years ago, that first revealed the presence of neocortical and neothalamlc equivalents in cold blooded vertebrates. A t that time, several connectLonal arrangements were found to be similar to m a m m a l s These include the olfactory telencencephahc, thalamtc, tectal, cerebellar and ascending spinal projections These findings have not only drastically altered our view of bram organization in 'lower' forms, but provlded insights into how neuronal o r cults might evolve The parcellatlon theory grew out of such work_ This volume offers a well written, well illustrated and relatively complete view of brain orgamzat~ons in sharks,
