A major function is also nonnested. ” In our visual processing, for example, the low-level neurons have less-differentiated response characteristics (responding, for example, to viewed points or short lines) and they project to higher neurons that have increasingly specific responses.

Being involuntary, it operates even if a person is in a coma. In addition, more complex, multineuron reflexes exist and still operate without consciousness. These are also called polysynaptic or multisynaptic. 3B). Over evolutionary time, some of the simple reflexes elaborated into increasingly complex reflexes and then into long neuronal hierarchies. This was done by adding more neurons, like adding links to the center of a chain (but with lots of cross-talk between the links). 3 Reflexes, simple and complex.

27 The trend toward differentiated cell types began at the level of neural reflexes, but it exploded when the first complex brains evolved (see chapters 5 and 6). Neuron types differ in the numbers and branching patterns of their dendrites (informationreceiving processes) and their axons (information-sending processes). 28 Especially important for the evolution of neural complexity and sensory consciousness is that all the vertebrate animals have a very wide variety of sensory receptors associated with their sensory neurons.
