The cerebellum first arose in jawed vertebrates such as sharks, and early vertebrates also have an additional cerebellum-like structure in the hindbrain.

    Toward a New Psychobiology

    by Peter C. Whybrow, Hagop S. Akiskal, William T. McKinney Jr. ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    In this book we present a conceptually integrated approach to disorders of mood. These disorders are defined narrowly as the clinical syndromes of mania and melancholia. The latter is our particular focus, for the simple reason that it is more common and thus more is known about it. Our approach owes much to Adolf Meyer, who first used the term psychobiology. It was he who emphasized in a ... Read more

  • Exploring Frontiers of the Mind-Brain Relationship

    Edited by Alexander Moreira-Almeida, Franklin Santana Santos ...
    Series series Behavioral Science and Psychology (R0)
