The Future of Comparative Neurology1

THEODORE H. BULLOCK
Neurobiology Unit, Scrtpps Institution of Oceanography and Department of Neurosaences, School of Medicine, University of California San Diego La folia, California 92093

Comparative neurology should be seen as not only anatomical but also physiological, chemical, developmental and behavioral neurobiology that exploits the vast diversity of nervous systems, revealing differences as well as commonalities. The anatomical approach has forged ahead rapidly in recent years but other approaches are lagging. Particularly scarce are studies that compare. The aims of comparative neurology are not unitary but several. Specific actions are urged for each of several classes of scientists. Two challenges are lifted up: the search for relevant behavioral correlates of known anatomical differences between taxa, and the search for brain correlates relevant to observed gross differences in behavior.
