Neural Darwinism
Book • 1987
Neural Darwinism, by Gerald M. Edelman, presents a revolutionary view of brain function based on the theory of neuronal group selection.
This theory posits that the brain operates as a selective system, similar to natural selection, but with different mechanisms.
It unifies perception, action, and learning, offering a dynamic perspective on memory and cognition.
The book spans multiple disciplines, including developmental and evolutionary biology, and has significant implications for understanding consciousness and the mind-body problem.
