Description: The book integrates data on visuomotor coordination in frog and toad - and comparative sudies of salamander, bird, rep- tile, turtle, rat, gerbil, rabbit, and monkey - with the ex- position of a set of models, Rana computatrix, with broad implications for neuroethology and the design of neural net- works. The study provides insight int organizational prin- ciples for the brain which are to be sought not solely in terms ofcellular mechanisms but also in terms of neural layers and modules functional constructs called schemas, and computational strategies.
